Creating the TAP: Please Touch Migration exhibit was a joy, as it allowed me to make art truly accessible to all.
My goal is to shift the way art is perceived and experienced by encouraging viewers to not only see but also feel the artwork. Each piece in the exhibit is designed to be tactile, with textures and raised surfaces that invite touch, making the artwork inclusive for those with visual impairments. By incorporating braille into the naming of each artwork and providing large print on all description cards, I’ve ensured that visitors of all abilities can engage with and enjoy the pieces on display.
The tactile experience adds a new dimension to the art, allowing viewers to connect with it in a more intimate and personal way. Every artwork features my signature on the right side, and I’m thrilled to offer these pieces for purchase. Those interested in owning a piece of this inclusive collection can easily arrange for it to be shipped or taken home. Thank you for your support and continued interest in my art as I continue my journey in creating art that embraces universal accessibility.
Seagull Freedom
The artwork is an impressionist painting of a seascape. The vivid stylization depicts an expansive body of water with layers of swirling blues and greens, suggesting the movement and depths of the ocean. The white, frothy waves are painted with textured, impasto strokes, creating a sense of motion as they crash onto the unseen shore. Above the water, the sky is light blue, streaked with wisps of white clouds, and three birds are in mid-flight, adding a dynamic and lively element to the tranquil scene. The brushstrokes are highly visible, giving the painting a rich texture and a sense of energy.
Braille Calligraphy
The artwork is an abstract piece featuring a textured surface with various intricate patterns. It incorporates a monochromatic white palette, emphasizing the textural diversity without the distraction of color. The composition is segmented into different sections, each displaying distinct textures and patterns, such as raised ridges, semicircular forms, linear grooves, diamond-shaped indentations, and subtle, repetitive motifs. The interplay of these elements creates a sense of depth and movement within the artwork, making it visually engaging and dynamic.

Golden Glistens
This artwork is an abstract piece, characterized by a harmonious blend of geometric shapes and textures.

Below this band, muted blue and grey tones with subtle vertical and rectangular forms create depth and contrast. The overall composition balances stark, dynamic lines with rich, textural elements, creating a visually engaging abstract work.
Listen to the Music
“Listen to the Music” is an abstract painting dominated by a swirling blue background with varying shades of blue, creating a dynamic, almost oceanic texture. The central element of the piece is a curving, ribbed white structure that runs horizontally across the canvas, resembling a distorted piano keyboard. Bordered with a rusty orange colour, framing outline of the canvas, giving the painting a sense of containment and contrast. The combination of the smooth blue swirls and the textured white curve creates a striking juxtaposition, drawing the viewer’s eye along the wave-like path of the central element
