Faraway I is the first panel of a triptych. I work in series and often paint up to 3 panels at a time. The panels were hung on a wall and I painted Farawy I, II and III as one large work. They work just as well as individual pieces or make a stunning statement as a triptych. I adore banana plants and find them endlessly fascinating. I drew the huge stand of bananas during my residency at The Acres in 2023–2024. For many months, I sketched weekly in ink and crayon, recording the flowers and landscape that bloomed and flourished across the seasons.

I first visited Bermuda in the final term of my degree. I immediately fell in love with the parish's banana patches. When I moved to the island, newly married, I would spend hours painting plein air among the banana plants with feral chickens to keep me company.
