I am interested in visual illusion and how we might think we see one thing initially but on closer inspection, it might be seen as another.<\/p>\n

In my paintings I aim to create visually contradictory images within imaginary worlds.<\/p>\n

I then mix abstract shape with representative image to further challenge the viewer to question, wonder and look beyond what it is they think they see.<\/p>\n

I work in water-based mediums<\/p>\n

My process usually starts with a printerly element. I work with these grounds pulling and pushing the marks until they take on a story of their own.<\/p>\n

I like to use layers to create something of interest on the surface at the same time as having something for the viewer to find beneath it.<\/p>\n
