I make art from the things I can’t quite leave alone.
A memory that changes every time I return to it. A dream that follows me into the morning. A stranger I notice for only a moment.
I use paint, photography, everyday materials and words to stay with those moments a little longer, not necessarily to explain them, but to see what might be hiding inside them.
The work is an invitation to notice.
What you find there is yours.

The Shape of Remembering
This collection reflects our relationship with memory and the quiet moments we become aware of its presence. Through layered imagery, it explores how memories shape our identity, perception and sense of time.
Becoming Memories
Childhood is often only recognised as it begins to slip away. This work reflects the quiet moments we realise innocence, wonder and the places that shaped us are becoming memories
Fading Memories
Some people leave our daily lives long before they leave our hearts. This work reflects the quiet realisation that someone we love is becoming a memory, and the emotions that remain as their presence slowly begins to fade.
Tomorrow’s Memories
The future lives in our imagination long before it becomes our past. This work reflects the uniquely human experience of dreaming about tomorrow while quietly creating the memories we hope to carry with us.
Before The World Returns
This collection explores the fleeting threshold between dreaming and waking, when reality quietly enters the dreams and we become aware of both at once. It reflects the fragile moments where imagination and the outside world briefly coexist before one gives way to the other.
Drifting Melody
A familiar melody drifts into dream, gently blurring the boundary between imagination and reality. Drifting Melody reflects the fleeting moment we become aware that the world is returning, and one reality begins to give way to another
For The Moments In Between
This collection reflects the quiet moments that often pass unnoticed, inviting us to pause and see the beauty hidden within everyday life. Through observation and transformation, these works explore how fleeting experiences can leave a lasting imprint on the way we see ourselves and the world.
The Blue Umbrella
A single blue umbrella briefly emerged from the ordinary scene of people waiting at a bus stop before disappearing back into the crowd. The Blue Umbrella reflects the quiet moment of noticing. The moments that invite us to pause, remind us that beauty often reveals itself in the fleeting details of everyday life.
