Working primarily in layered acrylics, Hayley explores colour texture and movement as a way to capture moments. Her abstract acrylic paintings are created to shift the viewer past the boundaries of the canvas and into a world of their own making. Each piece is painted with a glimpse of memories and emotions of her inner world.

All artworks are for sale.
