Original Artwork

“The Search for Flamingoes,” created after my visit to Holbox, Mexico in 2021, captures the fragile beauty and elusive nature of these elegant birds within their serene, protected habitat. As part of the series “This is Nowhere,” the piece reflects the quiet mystery of the Yum Balam Biosphere Reserve where flamingos glide gracefully over shimmering lagoons and mangrove channels, their coral hues flickering like living brushstrokes against the tranquil waters. This work honours the richness of a remote, delicate ecosystem, inviting viewers to contemplate both the magic of nature’s hidden places and the profound stillness found in the search for something wild and beautiful.

All You Need Is Love, part of my Collection “Life Is Better in a Cape” created in 2015, is a deeply personal piece crafted for my children to remind them of the importance of bravery and the universal childhood desire to be a superhero. This painting centres on the symbol of love itself — not as a distant ideal, but as a powerful, living force that encourages courage and kindness, qualities that every child carries within. The collection as a whole serves as a visual storybook, illustrating that while life can be challenging, embracing love and bravery equips us to face those challenges with strength and hope. Through this art, I hope to inspire my children to see that all you really need to become their own kind of hero is love.

Inspired by another trip to Mexico where the bull dominates the canvas—an eruption of motion and muscle rendered in sweeping strokes of crimson and shadow. There is no matador, no audience, only the raw force of the creature itself, caught in the moment between fury and freedom. The air seems to vibrate with its power, each line pulsing with contained energy, as if the paint itself might break loose from the frame. The art transforms the bull into a symbol of pure instinct, stripping away tradition until what remains is motion made eternal—a portrait not of violence, but of the untamed spirit that defines every living thing that refuses to yield.

“Hip” captures the elegant midsection of a woman wearing a black g-string, focusing on the beauty and subtle curves of the human form. This piece celebrates the intimate and delicate details of the body, rendered with a sense of grace and simplicity that draws attention to its natural allure. By isolating this part of the body, the artwork invites viewers to appreciate the strength and femininity found in such quiet moments, transforming an everyday subject into a striking study of shape, shadow, and confidence.
