My practice explores landscape and the shifting sense of place it holds. I am interested in the ways in which land carries memory, atmosphere, and history, and how these qualities are experienced, imagined, and reinterpreted through painting and sound. Working with cold wax, acrylic, and mixed media, I build and remove layers to create textured surfaces that echo both the physical structures of land and sky and the more intangible impressions of memory and emotion. Increasingly, I employ thin veils of acrylic, using colour not only as a visual element but as a vital tool for conveying mood, light, and the emotional resonance of place. Observation is often my starting point: sketching, photographing, and walking within the environment to become attuned to its shifting qualities. Yet the work that emerges in the studio is not simply a record of what I have seen. It is shaped equally by memory, imagination, and the sensory traces that remain after leaving a place. 

​

More recently, I have extended this process through sound, recording the sonic character of a landscape and layering in my own voice as a quiet acknowledgement of presence. This allows me to approach place not only visually but also through listening, rhythm, and resonance. Ultimately, my aim is to create immersive work that moves between reality and dream, evoking not just the outward appearance of a place but the sensation of being within it—its atmosphere, its memory, and its enduring presence.
