2026 RHA School 

This art project revolves around the concept of PLACE and how it shapes our identity, serving as a reflection of my personal journey. It explores the depth of our emotions and memories, as well as physical and emotional landscapes, creating a visual representation of human experiences and celebrating the beauty and complexities of the world around us. Series of works exploring Brutalist Architecture, Power Plants, and Concept of Wabi Sabi.


2025

My work seeks to capture the spirit of the land - its mystery, beauty, and timeless presence - while looking toward the future with reverence, belonging, and transformation. 

I am drawn to the quiet poetry of rust, where decay becomes colour and time leaves its mark with grace.
  

Through the dialogue between earth and sky, past and future, I search for beauty and hope.

ARCANA TERRAE
Series of abstract landscape paintings that explore the sublime beauty inherent in the natural world.
Inspired by the ever-changing skies and the ethereal dance of light across the landscape,  paintings capture the transcendent qualities of nature, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the profound connection between the earth and the heavens.

NCAD / MFA  2024.       "Critical Zones".

My project “Critical Zones” delves into the physical and psychological effects of displacement, exposing the fragile nature of our connections to both material and emotional landscapes. My practice is a fusion of abstraction and figurative painting. I work from photo archives, family stories, symbolism, metaphor, representations of things that are sensed more than seen, interpretations of an elusive space that exists in the overlap between the virtual realm and the physical world, shaped by the process of their creation, generated through equal measures of construction and deconstruction. I build up my paintings layer upon layer of oil paint through a practice of expressive mark making, creating critical zones within the plane of my canvas where the physical and the imaginary collide in an abstract reflection of human existence.
