Geometry Series

The Geometry Series investigates the dialogue between order and emotion through striking angular compositions layered over dense, tactile surfaces. Crisp, intentional lines carve across the canvas with force, their exactness set against the restless energy beneath. Each work sets measured geometry in contrast with unpredictable, expressive layers, reflecting the complexity of human experience. The sharp forms become a kind of syntax, precise, assertive, and unwavering, while the textured depths hum with memory, atmosphere, and movement.

At its core, this series asks: how do we find structure within emotional disorder? By opposing the discipline of geometry with the fluidity of gesture, the paintings suggest that balance can emerge, sometimes through conflict, sometimes through an unexpected harmony. Whether interpreted as inner landscapes or abstract states of mind, The Geometry Series invites viewers into that threshold space: the edge, the tension, and the search for meaning within uncertainty.

City in Turmoil

Sold at the Little Red Coffee Shop - This painting reflects the experience of inner conflict, where structure and stability exist, but are clouded by layers of unrest. The vertical forms hint at order, like buildings rising from the ground, yet they are obscured by streaks of color and fractured lines that echo chaos. It speaks to the way clarity can be hidden beneath noise, and how resilience is often found in the struggle to stand tall despite the turbulence around and within.

Shattered Geometry

Currently on exhibition at the Hub Gallery in Ridgeway

“Shattered Geometry” This work reflects the fragile architecture of the mind. The rigid angles speak to the structures we create to hold ourselves together, routines, resilience, the careful balance of thoughts. Yet the fractures reveal the truth: even the strongest shapes can break. The black, blue, red, brown, and white are the weight of struggle, while the purple and teal lines tear through like racing thoughts, anxiety, and chaos disrupting order. Still, in the breaking, there is possibility, an opening for healing, for reassembling the pieces into something new. Shattered Geometry is not just about collapse, but the courage to keep rebuilding.

Shards of Strength

SOLD - "Shards of Strength” This painting is an abstract expression of resilience and self-assertion. Layered shapes collide and overlap, yet within the tension emerges a quiet power.

Geometry of Shadows

Currently on exhibition at the Hub Gallery in Ridgeway

“The Geometry of Shadows” explores the quiet architecture of the mind when navigating mental health struggles. The sharp, deliberate lines represent the structures we build to keep ourselves together, coping mechanisms, routines, and boundaries, while the hazy overlays and muted textures speak to the uncertainty and emotional fog that can seep through those barriers. The contrasting colors are fragments of emotion, each contained yet bleeding into one another, reflecting the complexity of living with invisible battles. It is a portrait of resilience, not in the absence of darkness, but in learning to hold space for it within the framework of our lives.

Fragmented Veil

Currently on exhibition at the Hub Gallery in Ridgeway

This work explores the tension between concealment and identity—the quiet act of hiding one’s true self beneath layers of protection. The painting is built through intersecting planes of colour and line, forming a lattice that both shields and obscures. The sharp, angular strokes suggest barriers, while the translucent washes beneath hint at the emotions and truths struggling to surface.

The colours carry symbolic weight: deep blues and purples echo secrecy, introspection, and the heaviness of silence; greens weave through as a suggestion of growth and the possibility of renewal; bursts of pink and red break through the structure like fleeting glimpses of vulnerability and life. The lighter, scattered dots act as interruptions—moments where the veil thins and authenticity slips through.

Together, these elements create a rhythm of concealment and revelation. Fragmented Veil is not only about what is hidden, but also about the fragile beauty of what tries to emerge when the self reaches for light beyond the barriers.
