Working primarily in oil, Driver recent body blends muted, earthen tones with dreamlike atmospheres to explore themes of climate grief, generational inheritance, loneliness, and neglect. Faces emerge from foliage, stairways lead nowhere, and ghostly presences hover at the edges of her compositions. These spectral witnesses suggest a world that both observes and ignores, echoing the emotional disorientation of the climate era.

Her work is deeply invested in the relational tensions between humans and their environments: the burdens we carry from the past, the expectations placed upon the present, and the uncertain futures we brace ourselves for. Rather than depicting ecological disaster directly, Driver paints its psychological residue — the weight, the waiting, the quiet endurance required to navigate it.

Through this visual vocabulary, Driver’s paintings operate as intimate portraits of contemporary vulnerability. They offer a meditation on what it means to hold on when the world feels increasingly heavy, and to remain present in a moment defined by slowness, silence, and the ache of things unresolved. She lives and works in Auckland.
