This body of work evolved from a series of process-driven sketches on paper using a limited colour palette, creating a visual dialogue between positive and negative space within each piece. This series was intended as a brief exploratory journey, away from working on large canvas panels and on a more intimate scale through which I could move quickly capturing many ideas and compositional designs in a relatively short space of time.

The Proximity collection captures personal experiences and translates them into visual form through abstract painting, transforming subtle human emotions into tangible artworks. The paintings in Proximity explore themes of presence, absence, relationships and formative moments. Using contrasting colour and circular motifs, this collection evokes the tension and harmony that exist in human connection.

In this series, landscapes are not just places—they are experiences, reflections of the inner terrain we navigate every day. Colour and form play alongside each other like memory and feeling, inviting you to step into spaces that are at once intimate and vast. Each painting pulses with emotion. Bold colours, strong compositions with unique narratives become hills and valleys, skies and horizons, which in turn become metaphors for our emotional journeys.

The Transition Series is a journey through change, captured in paint. Each work in the collection explores moments of shift, that may appear subtle but are inherently profound. Through restrained colour palettes, visual texture, and abstract forms, the paintings give visible form to experiences that are often intangible: the quiet evolution of thought, the turning points of emotion, and the subtle currents of transformation that ripple through daily existence.

The Process Series was my first collection of large scale paintings since emigrating to Australia in 2001. These works marked the evolution of a new visual language, centred around circular forms, limited colour palettes and striking abstract compositions; moving my work from more literal landscape work into a new phase. The Process series is an intimate exploration of creation itself, capturing the unfolding journey of ideas as they evolve into form.
