The mind will freely wander into unexpected places when time and energy is spent focused on the physical process of making and creating. 'Rekindle' is about working in the present moment yet simultaneously existing in a space of memories, both visual and emotional. 

What happens when we allow ourselves to be truly curious in the studio? What if we think about our art process as a way to ask questions rather than a way of creating answers? If we approach our art making with curiosity as our reason for doing it, does it change the way we think about the resulting artwork? Is it more or less valid?

Journeys, in all their forms, are woven from moments that leave lasting impressions. Some pass by in the blink of an eye, others unfold slowly across time — yet each, whether fleeting or enduring, recent or long past, physical or imagined, carries an emotional weight. These moments have a way of settling into us, gathering meaning with hindsight, and deepening our understanding of both place and self.

In abstract painting, the unseen often becomes the most compelling subject. Emotions, fleeting experiences, and subtle states of consciousness resist direct representation, yet they can be evoked through the deliberate movement of paint, the layering of texture, and the rhythm of recurring forms. Patterns and circles, in particular, provide a visual language for these ephemeral experiences: their repetition suggests continuity, their curves imply flow.

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.

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.
