Childhood And Animals

If we are lucky, as children we grow, learning how the world works. We entrust others with our well-being and lives, share experiences, discover our power and powerlessness, and during that time our reality and imagination merge.

As an artist, I try to retain that duality, where abstract thoughts can become visible through marks or colour, different times share space, and ideas are transformed into something real.

In these paintings, I witness and paint childhood, explore vulnerability and the transient nature of relationships, trust and power.
