Introducing the Impassioned Project: A New Abstract Painting Series Bold, intense colours that capture the energy of my travels and everyday life come alive in my latest project, the Impassioned series. These dynamic pieces of abstract art are created on gallery-wrapped canvas, which allows the colours and brushstrokes to flow off the edges and create a sense of movement that pulls you in.

Through my painting, I have been almost...
