Through painting, I explore the complex dialogue between spaces, objects, and inhabitants within temporary living situations. My protagonists are my mother and suitemates, often silhouetted and at times barely visible. Using the human body as my source material, I search for emotional resonance through everyday objects and liminal areas of the home, illuminating moments of sensitivity and intertwining with those who share my living spaces.
