Soul Bathing
Contours of Silence
Contours of Silence explores absence as presence. Using negative painting, botanical forms—petals, leaves, fragments—become interruptions, and the spaces between them take center stage. Light, void, and atmosphere shape what we see, revealing the unseen forces that hold life together. These works make absence tangible, asking us to notice the intervals, pauses, and margins where meaning quietly lives.
The white shapes float like memory or echo, shaped entirely by the colour fields that surround them. Each composition explores thresholds, the delicate points where one form gives way to another, where something quiet but alive emerges. These works give voice to absence, revealing the pauses that give meaning to the visible world.

Artist Statement
Artist Statement
I was born with a thumb in my mouth and a paintbrush in my hand. My earliest memories are filled with intricate drawings and endless crafting—I was created to create. Art has never been just a pastime or profession; it has always been my medicine, my freedom, and my counselor. But navigating the world as an artist has often meant walking a tightrope between what I want to do and what I should do within the constructs of career and life.
Over the course of a commercial career spanning more than 30 years, my work has found homes with collectors across the globe. I’ve collaborated with interior designers, produced large-scale commissions—including 45 original paintings for a hotel in Birmingham—and created series for leisure centers. My art has also been licensed for homeware and clothing lines.
More recently, I had the honour of working with Buckingham Fine Art Publishers, where my paintings were showcased in high-end galleries throughout the UK. However, due to ongoing health challenges, I’ve had to adjust how—and how much—I work. I’ve returned to my roots as an independent artist, now carefully balancing my creative energy with my physical well-being.
At my core, I have always yearned to be free. I’ve resisted structures and systems that felt like cages—external expectations that muted my voice and identity. For years, I sought freedom in travel, in movement, in the highs of music and fleeting euphoria. Yet those moments were temporary. True liberation, I discovered, comes from within.
Music and nature are my eternal muses. Music moves me—literally and emotionally, triggering waves of dopamine and guiding the rhythm of my brush. Frequencies become colour. Lyrics become texture. Each painting is a visual symphony, an echo of sound and soul intertwined with my deep reverence for the natural world.
When I create, I seek a space beyond thought—beyond expectation—where the subconscious takes over. In that state, I don’t just paint; I channel. These works are more than visual experiences; they are portals. Gateways to the limitless expanse of the mind and spirit. I invite you to step through them—not just to look, but to feel, to travel, and to discover something beyond the physical.
