ABOUT THE WORK

My work is multi-dimensional in interpretation and execution.

In an iterative process using physical materials, photography and digital manipulation, the stuff of art merges with life; canvas, graphite, chinese ink and rice paper mix with garden mesh, observations on a morning walk, experiences of grief, a love of books - to form a visual conversation.

My creative practice enables me to experience, accept and learn about the different layers of my life’s realities. For me, art evolved as a process of examining, distilling and acknowledging how these intricate layers form. The outcome has been to uncover new meanings and to find a new whole.
