Inspired by psychology and the notion of emotions. Understanding the complexities of how one is taught to react and think. The battle between right and wrong and what is deemed socially acceptable, yet the natural instinct could be quite the contrary. The complexities of the mind brings parallels to the workings of a maze.

Subconsciously, materialism and consumerism navigate us daily without us even realising. How our desires, hopes and dreams are wrapped around these imagined realities created by historic ideologies and social norms. This piece represents how apparent it is in our homes. We use materials taken from the natural world and hang them against our man made environments for our comfort, desires and status.

The unpredictable seas is something I can stare at in bewilderment all day.

For my first solo exhibition I wanted to challenge myself and present a piece that was out of my comfort zone, therefore playing with scale exposed me as an artist and the title being a metaphor for feelings towards my first show. As an artist people are curious, intrigued and want to dig deep by asking questions. This can be quite intimidating, leaving a slight vulnerable feeling . The layers built up in this piece meant I could expose different textures and capacity of hues representing these emotions. Using the palette technique allows you to pull away semi dry and wet paint together, therefore creating slight peaks and cracks. Both representing feelings and emotions.
The sister to ‘The Deep’. The granules of sand that form the vast coastlines. Whilst the repetition is there, the ebbs and flows of sand create patterns and paths for us to discover.
Inspired by earth’s plains as seen from a birds eye view. Looking down on to patterns that merge, separate and flow. Contemporised with bright and saturated hues inspired by Cote D’Azur that merge.

A personal reflection of travelling. An escapism we all seek for various reasons, however the contrast of the anxiety, organisation and unknown of getting there and the routine on return compared to the beauty of a morning sunset, the chance encounters with people we meet and the landscapes we see.
Inspired by man made materials. Steel is used extensively in ship building. Designed to withstand the rough seas and elements. The sea salt thrashes against the paint work attacking the steel leaving it to erode. It gives a new touch, feel and aesthetic to the material, changing its hues, look and tactility. This piece represents the beauty that can be found in change and how erosion can be seen as a beautiful process transforming the very foundation of something.

This piece was based on a previous commission with a brief for an abstract take on a spring meadow. Inspired by village life in Nottinghamshire, I based this pattern and hues on a deconstructed daisy against the purple sunset behind rollings hills. The more the piece evolved, the more it made me smile, thinking of fond memories of roaming the fields with my sisters as children.
