Artistic practice

I focus on scenes and portraits that evoke feelings of happiness, nostalgia and connection. I often work from old childhood photos. Bold colours are central to my artistic expression – I’m drawn to 80s and 90s inspired colour paletettes, and I often incorporate graffiti spray paint to evoke joy and a sense of nostalgia.

My paintings capture the beauty of seemingly mundane moments – those moments that were fleeting and didn’t seem important, that came between big life events. Amidst the chaos, speed, and turmoil of modern times, my work offers an escape route to times that we experienced as simpler, slower, and more joyful and playful.

In this simplicity, I find both personal refuge and a quiet rebellion against worlds I know well—academia and contemporary culture alike—where prestige, ambition, and self-importance often overshadow care, vulnerability, and connection. I have little patience for big words or over-intellectualization. I paint because it brings me joy, and because I believe that joy—however small—is worth sharing.
