Behind the Scenes
We all feel vulnerable at times, both wanting to be recognised and yet to be hidden. Each painting I create begins with words and messages that convey meaning or paradox that I wish to explore through visual expression. The words may stay or they may be obscured by further layers. Where they can no longer be seen, they become part of the rich tapestry of the paintings surface. Much as when we meet others, they see what we present now, with glimpses of past experiences, some of which we willingly disclose, others we hide.
Art heals, connects, and inspires. It bridges inner and outer worlds, expressing emotions that touch our deepest being. Art transforms and reminds us of our shared humanity and the beauty all around us.

Creating my art is a dynamic process coming from and emotional place as I live in the world. The act of painting, experimentation, exploration and responding to the canvas and image developing is central. It is a thoughtful and discovery led engagement with my initial ideas that are both personal and universally knowable.
My recent works are a deeper exploration of feminine archetypes and myth, focusing on my own experience of motherhood and being mothered.
