Behind the Art

Each painting begins as a whisper—and becomes a world.

My practice lives in the threshold between the seen and the unseen—a liminal space where intuition becomes language, symbols speak in quiet certainty, and the feminine spirit rises as a luminous source of truth. I work with oils, mixed media, and layered translucency to create paintings that feel both ancient and intimate, rooted in remembrance and myth.

Guided by the aesthetics of classical oil painting yet shaped by the deeper currents of the Sacred Feminine, my work explores themes of awakening, healing, and inner sovereignty. Gold threads, birds, halos, petals, and submerged feminine forms appear throughout my canvases not as decoration, but as archetypal markers—signposts pointing toward the inner worlds we sense but rarely name.

Before devoting myself fully to painting, I spent many years in fine art and advertising photography, receiving international recognition for my work. Photography taught discipline, composition, and the architecture of light—but painting became the place where intuition could breathe, where narrative could rise naturally, and where the spirit of the work felt larger than technique alone.

My process is slow, layered, and devotional. Atmospheric underpaintings, fluid marks, and emerging symbols guide the evolution of each piece. The work unfolds like a conversation—quiet, steady, and responsive—revealing itself gradually, as though recalling something once known.

The natural world shapes my palette and rhythm. Living by the sea with my four poodles, I gather colour, stillness, and sensation from the shoreline—corals, teals, soft whites, indigos—tones that drift into my paintings like offerings from the tide.

Ultimately, I see painting as a form of invocation:

a way to reclaim forgotten feminine wisdom,
a way to soften the noise of the world,
and a way to offer beauty as a kind of truth.
