My Passion is creating.
Life events have given me resilience, determination and optimism, and I am now channelling these experiences into my art.
My hopes are to connect emotionally, mainly from evoking memories and imagination, interpreting life’s challenges or a sense of place.
My personal experience becomes embedded in my paintings, exploring abstracted themes in mixed media that focus on movement, mark making and strong colour compositions. Building layers, marks, gestured drips, scratches, thin washes to impasto, the image builds up in layers, losing and adjusting until my objectives have been achieved. My process results in an intriguing surface texture and composition. The final painting is a distillation of my response to the subject.
I am now thriving in an expressive and fulfilling creative life by allowing all my experiences and memories to shape my art direction, reconnecting with my soul and finding my inner peace through symbolic art.
