More backstory….
Morning at Maggie’s was created during my residency at the Tweed Regional Gallery, where time slowed and the simple act of observation became a daily ritual. This still life brings together objects found on site—a tin vase tucked away in a corner, local blooms, and a morning coffee sipped while watching the light shift across the landscape.
These elements were not arranged for aesthetic value alone—they were discovered, connected to place, imbued with the warmth of stillness and solitude. The distant landscape, visible from the balcony, merges into the composition as a gentle presence, anchoring the work in the natural radiance of the region. The reflection of the coffee cup in the vase becomes a distortion, suggesting memory, movement, and the layered nature of perception.
My practice explores the idea of presence — of being truly grounded in the moment. Through expressive colour and my signature Fragmatism style, I aim to fracture and reassemble the familiar, capturing not just how something looks, but how it feels to witness it.
Morning at Maggie’s is an unabashed celebration of the everyday. It spotlights the beauty of pausing, of noticing, of allowing the ordinary to become extraordinary. In this work, the humble objects of daily life are transformed into vessels of reflection—offering viewers a space to reconnect with their own sense of stillness, wonder, and presence.
