My abstract paintings and collages explore mystic geometry, symbols and patterns, working predominately in watercolours and acrylics. My work is informed by my graphic design background, and my spiritual practice of sound and meditation. Drawing on the mystic sound of singing bowls, my pieces exude melodic vibrations in which colours transcend the visual into the auditory. I see a relationship with the healing properties of sound and geometric rhythms, and my work with the sound bowls overlaps with my geometric artwork. I blend the inner and outer character traits of spirituality with the relationship between simple shapes and forms.

My fascination with geometric shapes—especially the circle—hold a spiritual representation for me, as it can represent both a sound or a vibration. The controlled energy of creating precise circles and straight lines by hand on one surface bursts out into a plasticity of form on another. The repetitive layering of watercolour in my work requires time in its making by necessity, but it also allows space for new thoughts and creativity to emerge as I move in between surfaces. The rich process and careful way each circle layers, yet manages to confuse which layer sits on another is visually absorbing, and conveys a meditative optical quality.

My art is about the freedom we can find when we allow ourselves to break away from the self-imposed structures that contain us. It is an ever-evolving exploration of the relationship between form, shape, line and colour that comes from an intense curiosity and observation of patterns in nature; and in the ebb and flow, light and dark, order and chaos of the spaces around me. In this sense my work expresses the uncertainty that comes from feeling the oppositional forces that exist in and around all of us.
