Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting)

Working with oil on plywood panels – materials of building and architecture – my paintings seek to explore the evocative nature of interior settings, and the curious geometries of everyday spaces. Employing thin, light washes of colour, I’m interested in the delicate balance between observation and memory, clarity and enigma. The modest scale of the work aligns with the intimacy of interior, private spaces. Hoping to capture nuanced moods and memories, each painting becomes a contemplation into the emotional resonance of domestic spaces, with the deliberate omission of details inviting imagination and projection.
