My involvement with a local conservation charity, where I contribute to a climate change project focused on the heath, also informs my awareness of environmental change and human impact. 

Having lived in Tokyo for a decade, I am drawn to the philosophy and discipline of Asian brush painting, which continues to shape my approach to mark-making. My compositions develop through a sequence of deliberate, responsive brushstrokes, where each mark carries weight and cannot be undone. This creates a balance between control and spontaneity, requiring focus and presence throughout the process.

I work primarily on paper, using watercolour, pencil, and inks. My material choices are guided by a commitment to sustainability, as well as by the sensitivity of paper as a surface. Whether working on rice paper or recycled sheets, I value its responsiveness—how it records each gesture and encourages a direct, unguarded approach to making.
