Portraits of the Past

This series is dedicated to the stories of people after they have been laid to rest.
For over 30 years, Mount View Cemetery in Cambridge has been part of my walks. It is a place where I find peace and feel a deep connection — many of my family members are buried there.
Our story doesn’t end when we pass. It lives on in the people we have loved. At Mount View, this becomes evident in the visitors I see, and in the mementoes they leave behind as ways to stay connected with someone they’ve lost.
My paintings are inspired by photographs I’ve taken during my walks. I’m interested in finding a balance between artistic challenges — light, colour, and composition — and capturing the moments of those who have visited and left something behind, continuing the story of their loved ones.
This series explores themes of loss and hope in life.
