Artist bio

In my art, I blend moulage draping techniques with origami-inspired pleats, creating 'couture' artworks. Inspired by my global travels and diverse cultures, each piece celebrates colour and reflects my unique figurative style. My work ranges from abstract to figurative, exploring the emotional impact of colour and its positive effects on wellbeing. I aim to evoke moods that enhance wellbeing, with abstract pieces as vibrant kaleidoscopes inviting visual and emotional journeys. My figurative works capture cultural essences, while abstract compositions delve into colour psychology, uplifting and inspiring. This dual approach creates art that captivates the eye and nourishes the soul, offering a sanctuary of beauty and positivity in a chaotic world.
