Left in the Dark
Framed · Available for purchase · £2,400 · Exhibition: Sunny Art Centre, WC2B 4AW, 7 September–8 October 2026 — Left in the Dark explores the isolation of an inner world shaped by trauma, an experience that can create distance not only from others, but from oneself. At the time, I wanted to be heard, and painting became a way of making an experience that felt invisible to others visible. Rather than simply depicting that pain, I wanted the viewer to feel something of its frightening and isolating presence. Subtle ridges, created with impasto medium, sit beneath the paint, adding a physical texture to the monochromatic surface.

Black Dog in a Field of Fire
Private collection (gifted) — not available for purchase · Inspired by Van Gogh's expressive use of colour and movement in his painting 'Wheatfield with Crows'. The calm presence of the black dog contrasts with the restless landscape surrounding it, using the external world to suggest an internal emotional state. Acrylic paint mixed with impasto medium was applied with brushes and by hand, building texture and movement across the surface. — Inspired by Van Gogh's expressive use of colour and movement in his painting 'Wheatfield with Crows'.
