From the 1920s with the first female divers such as Jane Fauntz and Katherine Rawls, up to the present day, I tell the story of the springboard dive.
I want to talk about the power of memories, I approached the philosophy of vintage in my art a few years ago, and those faded memories of the past.

An excellent example of how new concepts can draw on old ideas are now my most powerful series of paintings, depicting the first female divers from the 1920 Olympics to the present and these works are my most influential source in my art that has crossed international borders…
