About the Artwork:
Between Bark and Core is a contemporary abstract work on paper that explores the quiet tension between protection and vulnerability, surface and essence.
Through layered gestures, softened color fields, and areas of erosion and build-up, the work reflects a space of transition — the threshold between what is shown and what is held beneath.
Working on paper enhances the immediacy of the process. Each gesture remains visible and honest, preserving the temporal nature of making — a record of movement, pause, and decision. The artwork exists not as a resolved statement, but as a moment held between states.
Between Bark and Core speaks to transformation without spectacle. It honors the space where growth happens quietly — beneath the surface, unseen, yet essential.

My work explores freedom in its many forms through pop culture, ambition, nature and the choices that shape the way we live. In my Pop Art, familiar characters and cultural symbols become a language for exploring success, money, love, independence and the contradictions of contemporary life. Icons such as Scrooge McDuck, Mr. Monopoly, Bugs Bunny and Homer Simpson are removed from their familiar narratives and placed into new ones sometimes humorous, sometimes provocative, but always reflecting something about the world we live in and what we choose to value. Alongside this, my abstract work has evolved through a closer connection to nature. Living and working between wild landscapes in South Africa has shifted my perspective from the symbols of success toward something more elemental — land, time, movement, solitude and the freedom that comes from living closer to nature. What connects these seemingly different bodies of work is a continuing search for freedom. Freedom to succeed. Freedom to question. Freedom to change. And ultimately, freedom to live life on your own terms. I believe art can shift perspective. For me, creativity is not only a way of making images, but a way of understanding life — and continually redefining what truly matters.
