My oil paintings are about the Climate crisis, depicted as a painting within a painting. I do this in order to con the overwhelming nature of a global crisis to a digestible “frame size” concept. I throughly research each concept and embed it into the paintings, through a painted QR Code or other technologies. Having lived on islands for ten years, I have seen the effects of rising sea levels first hand, thus the goal of my work is to make a distant concept, something tangible that inspires conversation and action.
