Mixed media collage on panel board
My work explores memory, history, and place through painting, collage, andfound objects. Influenced by early colonial coastal cartography, my paintings reflect both personal and collective histories, reimagining familiar and unfamiliar landscapes.
I combine archival materials, old texts, and elements from previous works to create layered composions that mirror the fragmented nature of memory and the passage of time. Inspired by travel, urban life, and conversation, my practice weaves together symbols and references that evoke a sense of nostalgia, discovery, and connection.
Through these layers, I aim to capture how our physical and cultural landscapes shape our stories and the memories we preserve.
