Landscapes of Loss was exhibited at Hastings City Art Gallery in 2022. Then at Aratoi Museum of Art and History, Wairarapa in 2023.
Everyone, from all walks of life and across cultures, experiences loss and grief during their lives, whether it’s private and personal loss, within their community, or at a global level.
Right now, we are bombarded with harrowing stories of loss on a daily basis - from Covid-19 to the dire ‘Code Red’ climate change warnings, to poverty and homelessness. The world can feel like an insecure and frightening place, full of challenges which this new body of work, Landscapes of Loss, examines. In particular, Landscapes of Loss explores the dichotomies of isolation and connection. The artworks tell stories of loss and isolation, but also offer hope - portraying how people come together and support each other during difficult times.
"Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things." - Arthur Schopenhauer

Ruin and Renewal is a developing series that will focus on our relationship with the environment. It feels like we are currently at a critical threshold, one defined by loss, but not beyond repair, yet. I will explore this tension between the stark reality of personal and ecological ruin, and the often quiet possibilities for hope and renewal.
More to come . . .

Over the last few years I have realised the importance of works on paper as part of my art practice – how they positively influence and enhance my large-scale paintings. I use works on paper as a way to extend my visual language at the start of a new series – to try out new mark-making, different compositional ideas and colour palettes. Working smaller on paper offers the opportunity to be more experimental – seeing what is successful and what is not before embarking on a large canvas.
While works on paper inform my large-scale paintings, I do not directly copy them, and many end up becoming works of art in their own right, as you’ll see on this page.
If you are interested in purchasing one of these works on paper, please email me.
