I’m a mixed media artist and my work explores memory as a mix of vivid detail, blurred impressions, and emotion through layered materials like photo transfer, alcohol inks, and resin. The resin’s smooth surface preserves each piece, symbolically suspending moments in time.

The flowing alcohol inks within the circular forms evoke the organic, unpredictable nature of memory; the circles contrast with the rigid square composition, creating both tension and calm. Overall, the piece invites reflection on how memories are formed, altered, and reinterpreted over time.

This specific series is inspired by my niece Lola who lives in Australia and plays for the National Premier League for NWS (New South Wales) Spirit FC U23, a semi-professional league team for women under 23 and she's only 16 years old. The action images are of her showing off her talent on the pitch.
