Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Artists Statement
I’m interested in establishing an aesthetic clarity through observation, both seen and felt. By focusing on observation each art work reflects a dialogue between inner experience and external reality. Each art work is a pictorial statement to the natural freedom of the creative act, spontaneity and a celebration of life.
About the Paintings – “Surf” Series
'Surf' is a series of paintings that reflect on the elusive nature of memory—how it shifts over time, changes with emotion, and blurs the boundary between truth and fiction fuled by the imagination. These works explore how our recollections—whether distant childhood scenes or fleeting recent moments—are transformed within the mind.
In painting, memory becomes both subject and medium: softened, exaggerated, or idealised into something almost mythic. Like waves reshaping the shoreline, our minds continuously rework the past, eroding detail and changing meaning.
‘Surf’ captures this sense of transformation—where the real gives way to the remembered, and the remembered becomes something else entirely; elusive and ephemeral.
These paintings do not aim to reconstruct the past, but to express how it feels to remember something out of reach. Each painting is a truth, confirmed by the reality that these are paintings.
