Artist Statement “Drawing on the transitory experiences of living far from home, my work embodies new spaces discovered mingling with past memories and lived experiences. I combine writing, drawing, photography and printmaking to weave narratives into finished pieces. Focusing on the portrait, be it rendered ghost-like through layers of print, or starkly visible in a photograph; I seek to explore the landscape of human emotion through themes of loneliness, relationships and the intricacies of daily life”
