My artistic practice combines the use of photography and oil painting to create works representing personal experience and research. Although I have always had a passion for art, I have previously been unsure of my artistic process, not knowing how to develop subject and meaning into a physical piece that i actually enjoyed creating. However during university I found that my artistic ability thrives when I am researching subjects i love, this manifested itself in ecology, nature, water, and human experience. Throughout my practice I aim to highlight small moments in nature based on my own experience. I appreciate the unnoticed by focussing on the subject of water. Exploring the transformative act of painting i incorporate my research into water, memory as a cognitive function, the simulacrum and humans connection to nature into my work . My most recent exhibition (my degree show) presents the viewer with a series of landscapes that encourages audiences to reconnect with nature and question their relationship with technology.
