Additional Information

Here are a few words I've written regarding the paintings in this exhibition:
"Being There" is a journey that has unfolded over several years, a collection of paintings born from the fertile ground where life, memory, and imagination meet.
While at first a simple nod to painting from life, of being physically on location, the title 'Being There' has since blossomed into something more profound. For me, "being there" became about the sacred, timeless moments in the studio, often under the solitary glow of a midnight lamp; a state of complete absorption, a dive into a painted world so deep that the hours dissolve unnoticed.
The exhibition's central piece, "Being There: Reverie," embodies this duality. A woman stands in the woods, her feet rooted to the earth, her gaze taking in the world, while her spirit wanders in a dream. She is at once steadfast and swept away. In these paintings, I have become lost and found, both here in the world and there in the painting. It is my hope that my work might have the same effect on you.
