For Those Who Collect Art

Art, like life, reveals itself in layers — this is the beginning of my story.

Pelham Art Festival, 2025

When you invest in art, you’re not just buying a piece to hang on a wall — you’re entering into a story of a living creator that’s on a path to build a legacy. I get it, you want to feel the energy that shaped the work, and understand the consciousness behind it. You want to anticipate how the artist's career will evolve over time and what you might see as a return on your investment.

The way I see things is that as collectors and investors of my work, you aren’t passive owners; rather, you are active participants in the unfolding story of my life, career and vision. Each work that leaves my studio carries with it an invitation — to be lived with, to be witnessed, and to deepen in resonance as time moves forward.

I want you to feel something, see something, and notice how subtle energies move throughout our experience. To uncover and discover how art is an extension of our being — even if we are not the creators of it, we still manifested something. And in that something, I want you to discover a part of you, not yet touched by this world, and open your mind to its extraordinary possibilities.

That is the divine within us all.

The Essence of My Work

My practice explores the multidimensional nature of consciousness and the metaphysical aspects of existence. I’m interested in the space where the visible and invisible intersect. My process often moves between minimalism and maximalism, between stillness and intensity, creating experiences that overwhelm just enough to awaken the awareness that fuels our being.

And so my work encourages a shift in perception, acting as a reminder for the viewer that reality is layered, multidimensional, and alive — that there is an energy that’s moving us and crafting our experience. Each drawing or painting is not just an image, but an entry point — a moment of presence that continues to expand the longer one looks, feels and investigates the deeper aspects of self.

Milestones and Recognition

Since my emergence as an artist with AGO Massive XV (2019), my work has experienced many transformations and evolutions, leading to private gallery shows, group exhibitions and art fairs, like The Artist Project (2024) and Pelham Art Festival (2025). I’ve been honoured with awards like the Martha Zandvliet Memorial Award in Painting (2024) and the Medland and Green Inspiring Artists Bursary (2023), and was recognized in the top 10 of panellists’ choice at Art Comp (2021).

These moments are not just achievements along my path; they’re also signposts — markers of a growing dialogue between myself, my work, and those who encounter it. Each experience reinforces my belief that art is a living exchange of energy and awareness.

My craft is found through presence, and my purpose is unmasked through discipline and persistence.

Evolving Practice and Legacy

In early 2023, I began developing a new body of work exploring life, death, and creative consciousness — a continuation of my desire to understand the architecture of existence itself. A process I’ve inevitably embraced, as life continues to ask us to notice the impact and importance of such change. My process often begins in dreams and meditation, envisioning my drawings and paintings as they evolve into immersive works that engage all the senses. Guided by an intuitive dialogue between energy and environment, I believe it’s both the big steps and the small ones — those that often go unnoticed in the mundane sway of life’s currents that ultimately lead us along our path of destiny and our emergence as the creators of our reality.

Looking toward the future, I’ve been envisioning a foundation to preserve and care for my work — ensuring it continues to live, breathe, and inspire the collective experience, far beyond my lifetime. This ideal is inspired by continuity: a way of allowing the art to remain in motion and offer it the opportunity to exist as a living entity.

Each work has its own lifespan and personal experiences, just like we have our own destiny. When you collect a work, you are breathing life into its world and offering it a new perspective and lens to explore. And through the passing of time, and the sharing of that work, it carries on its own life that, in ways, is separate from mine and yet enables the capacity to share a piece of my story alongside yours and all collectors that choose to invest in my work, or galleries that create space for my work to be seen.

This is the ecosystem and the stream of consciousness that exists as something bigger than me and moves throughout all aspects of creation.

For Those Who Collect Art

Investing in art is, at its heart, an act of alignment — more than an investment. You’re not only acquiring a physical piece, but entering into a relationship with a form of consciousness, one that continues to unfold alongside you. When someone collects my work, I want them to feel that they’ve welcomed a living presence into their space — a mirror of their own growth and transformation journey.

So when you feel drawn to explore this connection, I invite you to view available works through my shop and on Peggy. Please know my door is always open for commissions — should you feel called to begin a conversation or bring a piece into your growing collection.
