The story behind ‘Where the Footsteps Planted’
This summer has been one of being in between. These paintings hold what I catch in glimpses, fast feet near an edge, grasses blowing while my girls run in two directions at once. A collection about motherhood, made in nap times and stolen moments.

Summer Memories
Summer is pushing on, and memories are being made, transferred from my mind to the paper, and returning to them again and again.
