My current artistic practice is deeply rooted in my personal experiences within the landscape, with a particular focus on how light interacts with and shapes these environments. I am fascinated by the transformative power of light in the natural world and how it can evoke emotion, memory, and perception. Through my work, I explore how light not only illuminates the physical features of a landscape and an object but also influences the way I experience and connect with the space around me. I aim to capture these fleeting moments and feelings, offering a personal interpretation of the landscape that is shaped by both the external environment and my internal response to it.
As an emerging artist currently pursuing my Masters in Fine Art at Birmingham City University, I continue to experiment with different mediums and techniques to express the nuances of light and landscape. My work is a reflection of both the intimate and vast qualities of the world around me, and I seek to invite the viewer to share in my experience of these landscapes through my lens. (2025)
