Essence is a brand new collection of large scale paintings that I have been working on for the past 2 years. The series is a journey and exploration of finding oneself again, after wondering where ‘I’ went and why I was lost. Joy, strength and clarity of vision. The paintings celebrate my innate knowledge and resolution that painting is my life passion and the essence of who I am.

'A definitive existence. My journey as an artist, delving deeper and deeper'.

'Red' - Looking through windows.

This painting needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. The work that has gone on in the layers beneath, create a sensational visual effect when you see the painting up close.

This painting means a lot to me as it is about a part of my life where I felt socially awkward, self conscience and really lacked confidence. I was always hiding behind the camera taking the photos at gatherings, parties and functions, looking at everything through the glass lens. I never felt really in the moment. As I've grown and my confidence with it, I make sure that I 'live' in the moment and embrace everything that I love as often as I can.
