Stories on Canvas

My art is where emotions take shape — where stories unfold without words.

I invite you to explore each piece and discover what it speaks to you.

Journeys & Places

Alt text: Vibrant abstract composition featuring bold arrows and a “50” speed limit sign, encouraging slowing down and reflecting on life’s detours as opportunities to find better paths and outcomes.
A vibrant, map-inspired painting of Bali featuring directional arrows and place names such as Ubud, Canggu, and Seminyak, with a pair of expressive eyes and a frangipani flower, symbolising personal journeys and navigating the island through memory and experience.
A dynamic, abstract map-like painting filled with names of cities and places, representing journeys across time—places I have travelled, places my late father explored, and destinations I still hope to visit, woven into a colourful layered composition of memory and connectio
Detour: The Long Way Home – Abstract painting of layered roads, arrows, and textured blocks of colour, featuring a rural house and a subtle horse figure inspired by Pukekohe. Road signs and pathways suggest slowing down, choosing direction, and finding one’s way back home.

The composition references journeys from the UK through Egypt and Africa to Australia, symbolising memories, storytelling, and connections passed between generations.
Abstract painting with layered geometric forms and directional arrows in warm tones, inspired by road detours in Auckland and symbolising life’s unexpected changes and the search for new paths forward.
Expressive painting inspired by Australia, featuring a stylised lizard with dot patterns, a human figure, and symbolic elements such as fire-making and a boomerang, reflecting on connection to land, culture, and understanding.
