While my artistic practice has evolved over time and will no doubt continue to do so, painting has remained a constant and grounding element in my work. I began working primarily with acrylics, but during my time at university, I started exploring mixed media techniques, incorporating texture into my paintings in more experimental ways. It wasn’t until a year after graduating that I truly began working with oil paints, having only briefly experimented with them during my foundation year. I was immediately drawn to the depth of colour and rich texture oils provide. Today, my preferred process for larger works combines oil paints with acrylic underpainting.

My paintings, like much of my work, represent feminine bodies existing freely and expressively. They are deeply personal, reflecting an ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth. I often use my own body as a reference, and through painting these figures, I’ve found a way to connect more intimately with myself, gradually making peace with my body, and learning to understand and love it more with each piece I create.
