My art practice is about connection—to people, place, nature and source. Drawing on my experience as a meditation, mindfulness and yoga teacher, I approach art-making as a contemplative process: a way of slowing down, noticing what is easily overlooked and returning to the present moment.

Working across painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media and ephemeral forms, I move between representational and conceptual approaches. Each work begins with an idea or felt connection, allowing the choice of materials to become part of how its story is told.

Through images of blossoms, leaves, water, shadows, sand and fleeting human moments, I celebrate the extraordinary within the ordinary. I aim to bring a sunny, honest lens to life’s complexities—finding lightness, meaning and moments of reflection through art.

I hope you find something in my work that connects with you and invites you to pause, look again and recognise something special in the moment.
