Tree Stories
Tree Stories is an ongoing project showcasing abstract paintings inspired by your stories. Trees are more than just part of the landscape; they are keepers of our memories and connections to special moments and people.
Since ancient times, storytelling and art have connected us, helping us express what matters most. My Tree Stories project is shaped by your memories and personal connections. For the past two years, I have been working on this project, creating abstract paintings, each one inspired by the stories shared with me.
What began as my first solo exhibition has grown into something much bigger, one that continues to evolve as I gather more stories and take the project to new places. Trees mark important moments in our lives. They are part of childhood adventures, quiet places of reflection, and symbols of love, loss, and connection. Through this project, I listen, collect, and respond to these memories, creating paintings that hold real meaning.
My hope is that each exhibition sparks conversation and helps visitors connect with the deeply personal stories behind the work; like a father hiding ‘dragon eggs’ in his orchard to bring magic to his child’s visits, the loss of an oak tree that framed a home’s view for years, or the memory of a rowan tree that symbolised a brother’s life.
Sustainability is at the heart of my work, each piece is crafted with care, using recycled silver and upcycled materials, giving new life to what already exists.
The Tree Stories Project will continue to grow, shaped by the memories you share. If a tree has ever held meaning for you, I’d love to hear your story and create a piece of art inspired by your memories.
