Vibrant gestures and expansive colour fields evoke the lush abundance of a late spring meadow, where flowers appear to dance and tall grasses stir in warm light. Natural forms, cultural references, and memory converge within a painterly language that embraces spontaneity and movement.
Layers of expressive mark-making accumulate into an immersive visual terrain, capturing the sensorial vitality and joyful formlessness of the natural world. Colour unfolds not as description, but as experience — fluid, rhythmic, and alive.
