ARTIST STATEMENT My recent work reimagines painting through the language of glass. Using a mosaic-like process, I assemble fragments of colour and light to create compositions that shift between abstraction and image. Each piece becomes a meditation on perception and transformation - how broken or separated parts can come together to form harmony. The glass reflects both light and emotion, offering a dynamic surface that changes with the viewer's movement. |

Wounding and Healing
As part of my own healing process, in this series I examine the relationship between wounding and healing.
Wounding has many sources: physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual… It may take the shape of a crisp slash that can be sutured, or it can leave larger holes that we can try to mend in other ways.
Some wounds are so deep and so pervasive that they may leave fissures, no matter how hard we try to erase them.
Finally, despite our best efforts, our wounds may leave behind a scar – a reminder of our wounding – that we may decorate to mark our healing.
