« My aim is to make art that not only tells my story but all our stories. To speak to the abused, the down-trodden, the hopeless, the lost, the lonely, the shamed, the orphan, the abandoned. »

When I pierce the painting with a needle, the resistance, the wound, the scar of thread feel truer than paint alone. Stitching transforms the surface—binding fragments, creating networks of colour, repair made visible. Paint speaks in washes and layers; thread speaks in line, dimension, and labour. Inspired by neuroplasticity, this process mirrors the brain’s rewiring after trauma: repetition forms new pathways, honouring both wound and healing. The thread doesn’t erase—it creates alternate routes, tangible evidence of repair and connection.
