Artist Statement

My practice centres on painting and mixed media, using the creative process to connect with place, people, and memory. Through paint and collage, I explore personal narratives—often forming embellished autobiographies told by an 'unreliable narrator', which I hope invites viewers to engage and reflect on their own life stories.
