My work reflects the interconnectedness between nature, humanity, and the energy that flows through both. I draw inspiration from the textures, forms, and colours of the natural world—tree bark, gemstones, rocks, and organic materials—combined with synthetic elements like epoxy resin. This blend of organic and human-made materials mirrors our relationship with the Earth that is fragile hopeful yet full of potential. My art is designed not only to please the senses but to energize the soul, fostering a deeper connection to oneself and the Earth. I work intuitively, letting the materials guide me as I build layers of texture and color. My art is non-representational and abstract, yet deeply rooted in the energy of the natural elements I use. I incorporate pigments that mimic the rich, earthy tones of the woods that surround me, as well as the vibrant hues of gemstones and minerals. At the heart of my practice is a desire to create art that brings healing and wellbeing. My pieces invite touch, and the depth of resin and pigments draws the viewer into a space for reflection and meditation. Through my art, I hope to offer moments of peace and reminders of the beauty and balance found in nature, encouraging viewers to reconnect with their inner stillness. Each piece is a journey exploring the connection between the physical and spiritual worlds. I believe art has the power to heal both individually and collectively. My hope is that my work serves as a conduit for positive energy, grounding viewers in the present while offering a sense of timelessness. In a world often disconnected from nature, I aim to evoke wonder and reverence for the natural world, creating spaces where healing and inspiration can thrive.
