Nature is where I go when I am unraveling.
It is where my body remembers how to breathe, how to be still, how to belong.
When I feel lost, I return to the earth.
And in doing so, I return to myself.
My work emerges from this remembering.
I paint the feminine body as landscape: carved, weathered, held by time.
Stone becomes flesh. Flesh becomes earth.
The separation dissolves.
We are not observers of nature, we are made of it.
As Women, this connection runs deeper.
Through birth, blood, cycles and creation, we carry the force of the earth within our bodies.
The womb becomes a cave. The body becomes terrain. The feminine a living force of the earth itself.
Through oil painting, I seek to eternalise this force.
Not as softness, but as gravity.
My work speaks to what is old, instinctual and unspoken.
It is an offering to the body, an invitation to slow down, and a reminder of where we come from.
