I am a mixed-media artist currently living and working in London. Working primarily with watercolour and oil, my practice exists between the seen and the imagined, somewhere between abstraction and surrealism. Through nature, symbolism and colour, I explore energy, growth and transformation, while questioning the forces of good and evil that exist within ourselves and the world around us.

Painting is an extension of my spiritual journey: a way of exploring the unseen forces within ourselves and the natural world. I believe deeply in the power of celestial beings, particularly angels, which recur throughout my work. To me, angels represent a deeply human state of being: love, vulnerability and innocence; qualities that can gradually become obscured as we enter adulthood. In my dream-like landscapes, angels encounter underwater creatures and organic forms, creating worlds that are both beautiful and unsettled.

Colour is central to this exploration. I use carefully selected palettes intuitively, not simply to describe what I see, but to create an emotional and energetic presence. My technique places dynamic, expressive brushwork alongside softer, smoother passages, reflecting the contrasts that underpin my practice: good and evil, light and darkness, chaos and beauty, the spiritual and the human. My paintings move between abstraction and semi-realism, allowing forms to remain recognisable while resisting a single interpretation.

I am particularly inspired by female artists who have used nature, symbolism and abstraction to explore spiritual and psychological experience. The works of Ithell Colquhoun, Agnes Pelton and Georgia O’Keeffe have influenced my understanding of how the natural world can become a language for something beyond the physical. I want to continue the artistic conversation these women began, exploring nature, spirituality, the feminine and the unconscious through a contemporary lens.

Having grown up in Hong Kong for twelve years, my relationship with nature and colour has also been shaped by Eastern visual traditions. I began working primarily in watercolour, a medium deeply connected to Chinese ink-and-colour painting, and this expressive sensibility continues to inform my work as I translate it into oil. Alongside these influences, my Western heritage and fascination with Surrealism bring religious iconography, cherubs and dream-like imagery into the same visual language.

My interest in symbolism is informed by Carl Jung and the language of the unconscious. Recurring forms such as orchids, black pearls and shells become personal archetypes, carrying meanings that shift between memory, spirituality and the subconscious. The orchid is particularly significant to me, connecting my childhood in Hong Kong with ideas of beauty and growth while echoing the tradition of orchid painting in Chinese art.

I hope my paintings can contribute to an ongoing conversation about innocence, morality, nature and the unseen, inviting viewers to look beyond the visible and consider what might exist beneath it.
