Field Notes Collection

Field Notes is a collection of moments from the Greek island of Chios. During a two-week-long residency, each painting captures my time exploring the beautiful landscape of this little-known island, from the deep history of the mastic tree to the calming Aegean sea.

My time on the island provided space to reconnect with nature and slowly explore a new environment. Field Notes encourages us to remember that we are all one. One with each other, one with the Earth, and one with time. It is a collection that reminds us to stop and really look at our surroundings.

Be in awe of the little things.

How the sea laps onto the shoreline, slowly eroding the pebbles and rocks it touches with every tide, shaping them gradually over centuries to come. The way a tree casts a shadow on the ground, providing shade to the insects and wildlife that call it home. Watching the sun as it peeks above the horizon, observing the colours it casts through the clouds.

Each new day is an opportunity to admire how beautiful, resilient, and wondrous we and our planet are.

Take that moment. Be kind to yourself, to the world around you, and to each other. We are but a tiny speck in a vast universe, but we are each special.
