Pushing Paint

“Here’s to you kiddo!” (2023) Oil on canvas, 45cm x 60cm

For me, abstraction is a starting point. I naturally find myself pushing paint into something recognisable, the strokes become more intentional as the artwork forms. Days of troweling and scraping away at a portrait that celebrates deep love, connection and respect – an energetic marker of welcome to our space. It's a constant reminder that the only way to thrive is to be yourself.
