My richly-textured paintings layer materials such as soil, photographs and newspaper beneath the paint, creating emotionally expressive works that evoke ideas of memory, place and time.
As a long-time migraine sufferer, I painted Migraine II as a visceral expression of an attack. The work also plays on the similarity of the words 'migraine' and 'migrant'. The experience of migration, which splits identity into two, is a key theme in my art practice.
Migraine II can either be hung by itself, or displayed together with its companion piece Migraine I (available for purchase separately) to form a striking diptych. Both works celebrate human resilience, and the power of art to communicate and transform experience.
