THE HEART BEHIND MY ART

I love how my work has evolved, and it’s so deeply tied to the place I call home. Even on those rainy, gloomy days, I can’t help but feel inspired by the landscape around me. Every shift in the weather, every change in light, feeds into what I create. That’s one of the things I find so powerful about my art—it’s a direct reflection of my connection to my surroundings.
I started out in photography, and moving into printmaking felt like a natural progression. I take hundreds of photos for each piece, and in Procreate, I play around with them—adding, subtracting, shifting things around—until I feel that spark. That spark is what I’m after—the moment when everything comes together and feels true to what I want to communicate.

Even though I was accepted into university for photography in London, I chose a different path—I got married and moved to New York. Working as a real estate photographer in the Hamptons, New York was an experience that shaped me in ways I didn’t expect. It deepened my fascination with spaces, with nature, and with how the two interact. Eventually, I found my way to printmaking, and it felt like coming home.

Art is everything to me. Some pieces take months, even a year, to finish, but that’s what I love about the process. I always have multiple projects going at once, each one feeding into the next. I’m passionate about my work, and I truly believe that passion shows in every piece I create.
​
The longer I create, the more I see myself doing this for the rest of my life. I want to be that artist who, despite the aches and pains of old age, keeps going—keeps creating, keeps expressing my love for this place I call home. That’s what drives me. If my art can spread even a fraction of the joy and connection I feel, then I know I’m doing something meaningful.
