“My art is an exploration of emotion, memory, and the invisible rhythms of the mind."

ARTIST STATEMENT:

Living with epilepsy shapes how I experience the world - moments of stillness interrupted by sudden outbursts of electrical energy - and that unpredictability finds its way onto every canvas.
Through layers of colour and texture, I aim to capture both fragility and strength, revealing how beauty can emerge from disruption.  Painting began during a hospital stay and became a language of its own - one that allowed me to express what words cannot.
Each piece, I used to say, was done in 'fits and starts - quite literally’, but since my successful brain surgery in 2026 I’m not experiencing seizures on a daily basis, if at all, it’s like I’m in remission. Now life is calmer my paintings might reflect that; but I still vow to give 20% to The National Brain Appeal, as my life has been changed immeasurably by the neurosurgeons of NHNN Queens Square London.
