What inspires your work as an artist?

For me, painting is a conversation between the past and present; an exploration of new forms from old images and narratives. Art History is my main source of inspiration, my work is a response to historical references within the Still Life genre. I have worked on series of paintings, which reference Dutch 17th Century Still Life painters such as Rachel Ruysch; Manet’s last flower paintings; the English 18th Century Artist and founding member of the Royal Academy, Mary Moser; Winifred Nicholson; and Morandi.
