THE NEW COLLECTION
ARTIST STATEMENT
Introducing ‘The New Collection’ a series of paintings celebrating the new. In my piece New Heights, I explore the intricate interplay between local wildlife and the natural world through the technique of double exposure. This process allows me to seamlessly weave elements of the animal's surroundings into its form, creating a rich tapestry that invites viewers to see beyond traditional boundaries. This serves as a visual metaphor for the multitude of perspectives we share—reminding us that our perception is boundless and ever-evolving.
The theme of connection resonates deeply throughout my work. By dismantling preconceived barriers, I reveal the potential for transformation and growth. My paintings of expansive skies serve as a backdrop for this exploration, guiding viewers towards realms that transcend typical limitations. These symbolize new hope, embodying the promise of beginnings yet to come.
Drawing from personal experiences where pillars of trust have been destabilized and boundaries dismantled, I find solace in the infinite possibilities represented by the sky. In these moments of uncertainty, I am captivated by the notion of rebuilding—a journey that begins with embracing the vastness around us. The skies, unconfined and open, reflect the potential for renewal and the discovery of new truths and lives. Each sunrise is an opportunity for rebirth and symbolizes the warm spirit of gratitude for those who have helped me rise each and every day.
As I continue to explore these themes, I remain eager to witness what lies beyond the horizon. Each brushstroke is a step toward new heights, a celebration of the connections we forge and the journeys we embark upon together. Through my art, I invite you to join me in this exploration, to look up and see the boundless possibilities that await.
