“Catch by the Eye, Save in the Heart”. These works were exhibited at the Catch by the Eye, Save in the Heart Exhibition at Artspace-Galleries, Mayfair, London 4-10 May 2008.

               I hope that my paintings reference a universal experience of being alive that goes beyond language.

Shortlisted for Brighton Festival Fringe Visual Arts Prize.  I’m trying to celebrate the spaces in between our experience of life that can’t otherwise be pinned down or quantified, and to express the beauty that is left in the space between words and comprehension where there is the freedom to just be.

I attach a sense of journey to my paintings but I’m not trying to reproduce an emotion or a landscape or an image ‘of’ something. I’m just trying to get to the inspiration that can move me or stop me or shake me independently of my subjectivity so that I can describe that process through my version of abstraction.
