The Why.
I want people to feel the awe and wonder of nature. As a person that loves the water (surfer, kiteboarder and sailor), I have had many wonderful moments of feeling in tune with the waves. This flow state is an incredible feeling and I want to share just how alive and calm it is. There is such a wonderful feeling of alignment with the world, I really think it's worth sharing. Art has given me a way to express these experiences and dig deeper into the language that paint and photography have to offer.
The How.
These works are my own large scale photographs that I've enhanced and edited with acrylic paint, blurring the lines between photography and painting. Using thin washes of paint and etching into the emulsion of the photo, the images become tactile and painterly in some areas while remaining photographic sharp in other areas. The seamless blend between the two techniques makes each image completely unique.
For You.
Our homes are our sanctuary. It's where we hold our prized possessions, our memories and where we are free to be ourselves. We have our favourite books, photos of friends, family, and travels and maybe your favourite song plays in the background. Artwork is a personal, soul nurturing thing that energizes your life, transforms your space and elevates your emotional state. Imagine having a piece on your wall that makes you feel rejuvinated and settles your mind, a piece just for you, that you can return to over and over.
