TABLESCAPES
"the table is my stage; a place where ordinary objects perform extraordinary roles" JML
My tablescapes reimagine the table as more than a surface: it is a stage, a gathering place, a keeper of stories. In each work, I explore how arrangements of objects — plates, vessels, textiles, fragments — embody the traces of human presence. The table is never neutral; it reflects culture, ritual, and care.
ABSTRACTS
"ABSTRACTION IS MY FIRST LANGUAGE- COLOUR, GESTURE AND ENERGY SPEAK WHERE WORDS FALL SHORT" JML
My abstract works are where my practice began, rooted in an exploration of colour, gesture, and form. In these pieces, I pursue painting as a language of emotion — a way to give shape to the unspoken through mark-making, rhythm, and balance.
LANDSCAPES
"I PAINT LANDSCAPES AS EMOTIONAL TERRAINS, SPACES TO BE FELT AS MUCH AS SEEN" JML
My landscapes are less about geography than about atmosphere — not depictions of place, but translations of feeling. I use colour, texture, and rhythm to build environments that are at once expansive and intimate, drawing on memory, sensation, and the shifting qualities of light, weather and season.
