Painting

My painting practice grows from a deep fascination with transformation, mythology, and the textured presence of the natural world. I am drawn to places where things shift and overlap — where memory blends with dream, and landscape becomes a space of imagination. Through paint, I create worlds that sit somewhere between the real and the imagined, where sea and sky merge, birds and plants seem to speak, and the boundaries between living things soften and dissolve.

Colour is one of the ways I tell these stories. I return again and again to deep blues and greens that echo water, shadow, and twilight forests, punctuated by bursts of orange, gold, and rust. These flashes of warmth carry a sense of hidden energy and transformation — moments of decay and renewal, darkness and illumination existing side by side. Certain forms and motifs reappear in my work, acting as quiet symbols of connection between the human and the more-than-human world.

I build my paintings slowly, layer by layer. Texture is essential to this process — through accumulated paint, glazes, and occasional collage-like elements, the surface becomes a record of time, touch, and memory. I want my paintings to feel held, almost weathered, as though they have absorbed stories of the places they imagine.

Living and working in West Wales deeply shapes my practice. The landscape, weather, and local folklore continually feed into my work, offering a sense of myth woven into everyday experience. My paintings invite viewers into contemplative, in-between spaces — places of belonging, transformation, and quiet wonder, where the seen and unseen meet.
