Residence Plan
Exploring the universality of the human form, I will explore the technique of ukiyo-e and the work of ancient Japanese masters and translate this into my own visual language. The main objectives of the project are research into color, new skills and an exploration of Japanese culture, to open up a dialogue between contemporary painting and these learned ancient processes.

I am drawn to the fleeting nature of the painterly gesture.

Working in the grey area between figuration and abstraction, my work transcends the boundary between the two. For me, the form has the ability to connect with timeless human experience. My work draws elements from the human architecture and brushwork of old masters, taking historic images and placing them in a contemporary aesthetic.
