‘Light Source’

Boom Gallery, Geelong NSW

June 2025

ARTIST STATEMENT

“Recently, my paintings have begun to reflect themes of magical fantasy and imaginative play, as I witness my daughters grow at what feels like an alarming rate. Through these works, I seek to preserve the fleeting moments where leaving notes for fairies in the garden and imagining secret worlds behind blanket clad cubby houses defines this most precious stage of both their and my life.

The nature of oil paint has allowed me to evoke an almost ethereal quality that feels reminiscent to that magical energy of childhood, an energy I’m understanding that if we are lucky enough to carry with us beyond childhood can act as a vital light source for resilience in adulthood.”
