In my work I explore themes from psychology and philosophy. Using a variety of techniques, styles and effects I work quickly from observation or from my imagination. This expresses my critical eye and fascination with the human condition.

The MT abstract series ('looking out of cave') started off as dark paintings with the intention of progressing onto lighter ones. This body of work signifies depression and hope, where an estimated 1 in 4 people will go through a depressive episode in their lives.

In “the party was here long before u got here” I’m affected by my tendency to attach deep personal meaning to events which might otherwise appear insignificant. Why some things become particularly salient to us fascinates me.
