Solitude and solitary spaces. The deep calm and tranquility of water, rocks, sky and trees. The solace, loneliness and rapture of being alone in the woods. These inspire my sombre, monochromatic lakescapes, constel/lichen pieces and ‘rust proof’ series. I truly love hearing that people connect to the stolen moments of silent bliss in my paintings, the relationship we have with the earth, and especially that they see their own emotional landscapes in them.
