dream/sleep
Painted whilst navigating sleep deprivation, this series of works was dreamt up as I drowsily made my way through life as an exhausted mum of two. As I rocked/patted/shooshed my baby during the long nights, I found myself drifting into an almost meditative state, ideas of compositions and colour schemes acting like a life raft to soothe myself. The coffee fuelled days spent longing for 'down time' so I could head to the studio, always torn between my head craving a pillow but my heart craving a brush.

DREAM SLEEP
Dreamt up whilst navigating sleep deprivation, long nights spent imagining compositions and colour schemes acted like a lifeline; the coffee fuelled days spent willing for motivation to turn my dreams into reality.

KOMOREBI
Painted during the four month long lockdown I found myself drawn to the trees and their shadows, inspired by the beauty of contrast between light and dark.

LIGHT TRADER
Trading daylight hours for moonlight hours, a collection inspired by the juggling act that is motherhood.

THE FOURTH
A series of four works inspired by the fourth trimester, navigating a new born and a new version of myself after giving birth to my first daughter.
