In late 2019, I discovered a consuming passion for visual art and the oil pastel medium. As a 40 year-old professional and mother of two young children, oil pastels give me the freedom to be impulsive in the space I’ve carved out as my own. I chase the comfort of defined boundaries, while simultaneously destroying them. I labour over oil-smooth geometric shapes, yet derive equal pleasure from scraping them back with a palette knife and using the offcuts in other pieces. I create scenes of crowds in motion one day, and depict the solitude of an empty street the next. My studio is the gateway to endless adventures.
Anglo-American by both birth and lived experience, I am primarily inspired by the works of English painter L.S Lowry and American painter Edward Hopper, as well as a number of contemporary urban night photographers such as Liam Wong, Mike Will and Barima Edusei.
The original works exhibited will also be available as limited edition prints.
