Dancing with the shadows of those I have known…

In the grand tapestry of life, it’s the people we encounter who add colour, texture, and depth to our stories. Family, friends, and lovers—each one is a thread that weaves through our narrative, shaping us in ways both significant and subtle. “Dancing with the shadows of those I have known…” is a journey through the relationships that have shaped my life, celebrating some and laying others to rest.

With time, I’ve grown more content in my own company, reflecting on these memories, uncovering their deeper meanings, and translating them into my art. From the bittersweet nostalgia of Fading Away, which reflects on a past love, to the celebration of cherished friendships in Gone, But Not Forgotten, each piece in this collection serves as a vignette and tribute to those relationships.

Just as these memories have shaped my work, I hope the paintings stir reflections on your own connections, the cherished, the bittersweet, and everything in between.
