Selected Works
My paintings develop intuitively through layers of printmaking, collage, colour and paint. Each work evolves through the process of making, often changing direction along the way. I follow where the work wants to go, allowing the layers and even the imperfections to become part of its story.
A vibrant fusion of movement, texture, and affirmation, In Your Own Light bursts with swirling layers of crimson, magenta, deep black, and rich bronze. Smoky greys and shimmering metallics weave through the composition, while pools of golden light create moments of stillness within the flow.
Flowing across the surface is my original script stencil — a handwritten poem about self-belief and identity. The words appear and disappear beneath the paint, inviting the viewer to feel their strength and beauty even when they cannot be fully read.
This is a painting about knowing who you are, owning your worth, and letting your light move boldly through the world.
‘Dream Big’ - Dream big, there’s no one like You. You are unique, one of a kind, irreplaceable, beautiful.
Cherish who you are, love out loud. Allow Yourself to shine.
Be kind, generous, and know that, You are loved.
Darling, You are a work of art!
Rich layers of crimson, magenta and warm ochre surround a mysterious female portrait, illuminated by intricate touches of gold. Texture, pattern and translucent colour overlap across the surface, creating depth and a sense of faded grandeur.
There is something both timeless and contemporary about her presence. She emerges from the richly layered surface with quiet confidence, surrounded by fragments of pattern and glowing metallic detail.
She Wore the Light celebrates beauty, strength and individuality — a woman who doesn’t simply stand in the light, but carries it with her.
A mesmerizing interplay of warmth and contrast, Molten Reflections captures the essence of flowing metal and shifting earth. Rich shades of bronze, copper, pewter, and graphite merge effortlessly, their fluid forms creating organic, ever-evolving patterns. Iridescent white and deep black add striking contrast, enhancing the depth and movement of the composition. Delicate cell-like textures emerge throughout, evoking the natural beauty of molten rock and mineral veins. Warm, inviting, and deeply atmospheric, this abstract painting invites contemplation—like gazing into the heart of the earth’s fiery creation.
Infused with sea-swept hues and echoes of distant shores, Voyage captures the essence of a journey — both outward and inward. A fishing boat anchors the composition, emerging through sweeping layers of turquoise, aqua and deep indigo that evoke shifting tides, changing skies and the movement of water.
The artwork began as a richly layered collage of handmade and specialty papers, including gel prints and dissolved National Geographic pages. A final, bold layer of fluid acrylic paint transformed the piece, flowing across the existing collage while allowing fragments of the original imagery and texture to remain visible beneath.
Warm metallics glint through the cool blues, while areas of paper, pattern and imagery appear and disappear beneath the painted surface. The result is a work that feels both discovered and transformed — a visual meditation on movement, memory and the unexpected places a creative journey can lead.
Created around my own handwritten poem, this piece is a reflection on self-worth, kindness, and the quiet courage of becoming fully yourself.
The words layered into the collage gently remind us:
“Dream big, there’s no one like you.
You are unique, one of a kind,
Irreplaceable, beautiful.”
This work speaks of learning to see yourself differently — with compassion instead of criticism, with hope instead of fear. It is about allowing yourself to shine, embracing your own story, and recognising that even after difficult seasons, beauty still lives within you.
A deeply personal mixed media collage about identity, healing, and remembering your value.
“Darling, You are a work of art.”
Not everything we follow can be clearly seen.
Tracing the Invisible explores the quiet instinct that leads us forward before we fully understand where we are going. Sweeping white lines travel across richly layered fields of burnt orange, rust, copper and deep crimson, tracing pathways through marks and textures that emerge and disappear beneath the surface.
Layers of paint, print and expressive mark-making are illuminated with gold leaf that shifts with the changing light. At times it glows brilliantly; at others it recedes into the surface — a luminous presence that cannot be fully captured in a photograph.
Some marks are deliberate; others arrive through experimentation and chance. Together they create a sense of movement, as though something unseen is passing through the composition, leaving only traces behind.
Tracing the Invisible is an invitation to trust those impulses we cannot always explain — the marks we don’t yet understand, the paths we cannot yet see, and the light that reveals itself as we move.
‘Tracing the Invisible’ has been painted on a professionally stretched canvas. With the sides painted, the back taped and strung, this work of art is ready to hang and measures 16 × 20” (51 x 40cm).
Into the Blue Silence is an invitation to step away from the noise and into a place of quiet restoration. Layers of turquoise drift through silver-grey and deep midnight tones, flowing with an effortless rhythm that feels both expansive and deeply grounding. Fleeting patterns emerge and dissolve within the surface, like memories carried on water or light dancing across a winter lake.
This painting speaks of the peace that can only be found in stillness. It reminds us that clarity rarely arrives in the midst of striving, but in the moments when we finally allow ourselves to pause, breathe, and simply be. Within the silence there is strength, within the stillness there is hope, and beneath every quiet surface there is a depth waiting to be discovered.

Fragments of story live beneath the surface — layered, worn, and quietly enduring. Pieces of time gathered together, holding traces of what has been.
In this work, textures and markings overlap like memory itself — partial, imperfect, yet deeply present. The suggestion of a doorway emerges, not fully revealed, but waiting. It invites a pause… a wondering.
Where the Journey Waits speaks to the way our lives are shaped by what we carry forward — the visible and the hidden, the remembered and the forgotten. Nothing is lost entirely. It lingers, woven into the fabric of who we are becoming.
This piece holds that quiet truth — that meaning is often found not in what is obvious, but in what is layered, weathered, and waiting to be seen.
Fragments of landscape gather across the surface — branches reaching, textures shifting, colours moving between warmth and cool reflection. The composition feels like a place both seen and felt, where memory and movement meet.
Where the Path Remembers speaks to the journeys that shape us over time. It honours the way forward motion is rarely linear, and how every step leaves its imprint. There is strength here, but also stillness — a recognition that the path beneath our feet carries more wisdom than we sometimes realise.
A landscape not just of place, but of becoming.
Mixed media collage on canvas
Fragments of pattern, paper, symbol, and memory come together in a layered composition that feels both deliberate and discovered. Pieces of text, marks, and worn textures sit side by side like collected moments — traces of experience gathered over time.
My original Dance Moves symbols appear within the work, forming part of my evolving visual language. These marks act like quiet signposts within the collage, suggesting rhythm, movement, and identity woven through the journey.
Gathered Along the Way reflects the way life unfolds in pieces rather than perfect lines. Each fragment carries meaning, and together they form a story — one that continues to grow, layer by layer.
A radiant expression of resilience and renewal, Shimmer of Hope blends shades of warm bronze and deep charcoal with fluid, organic movement. Flowing from the center, a soft marble effect in pearl white and copper creates a luminous contrast, while delicate cell-like textures ripple across the surface. Silver line patterns weave through the composition on one side, their shimmering brilliance symbolising the ever-present light that emerges from darkness. This abstract artwork is a reminder that even in the most uncertain moments, hope glows beneath the surface, waiting to shine through.
Some truths are not found quickly. They arrive slowly, shaped by seasons, softened by waiting, and revealed through time itself.
In this work, clocks and turning forms emerge through luminous layers of colour, suggesting time not as something rigid or demanding, but as a quiet force of becoming. Rich washes of gold, copper, violet and touches of turquoise move across the surface, allowing earlier layers of collage, pattern and imagery to appear and disappear beneath the paint.
The circular motifs speak of cycles that return and renew, while the shifting metallic light creates a sense of something being uncovered — memories, experiences and meaning gathered along the way.
The Light Within Time reflects the understanding that growth is rarely sudden. It unfolds gently, often unnoticed, until one day we recognise the radiance that has been forming within us all along.
This piece invites us to trust the journey — and to believe that time can reveal as much as it takes.
Where Light Rests is a meditation on finding peace after the journey. Layers of burnished bronze, copper, and luminous gold emerge from deep shadows, creating a landscape where light is no longer searching, but quietly at home. The richly textured surface catches every changing reflection, revealing new moments of radiance with each shift in perspective.
This painting speaks of those rare moments when we stop striving and simply allow ourselves to be. It reminds us that peace is not found in the absence of life's fractures, but in the gentle way light settles within them. There is beauty in what has been weathered, hope in what continues to shine, and quiet strength in choosing to rest.
Warm earth tones and softened metallics flow across the surface, layered with organic texture and quiet movement. A delicate branch rises through the composition, symbolising resilience, renewal, and the steady rhythm of growth.
The Place I Breath speaks to grounding — the space where we pause, exhale, and reconnect with what sustains us. A reminder that strength can be gentle, and growth can happen in stillness.
A sweep of crimson arcs across a molten landscape—gold, bronze, and black collide in a dynamic flow of texture and light. Beneath the vibrant surface, subtle embossed patterns emerge like ancient echoes, adding depth and mystery to this powerful composition.
Inspired by the earth’s raw beauty and elemental energy, Crimson Horizon evokes the feeling of standing at the edge of transformation—where fire meets sky, and land begins to sing.
