ARTISTS STATEMENT
I am a mixed media artist who works primarily in paint and print. I also use textiles/3D at times in the exploration of a theme.
At present in my practice, I am painting a series of works with oils on wood. Every painting for me is an exploration of paint and colour. I have always loved colour. I study it but at the end of the day, I use it intuitively. My work could be described as semi-abstract. I often paint in an intentionally naive fashion.
Using nature as a vehicle, I explore themes that fascinate me such as memory and dreams. The Imagination and subconscious is very important to me. Often in my work there is a psychological aspect which can be autobiographical.
Initially my love of art began with drawing, particularily with charcoal and pencil. In fact some of my work has a graphic quality, so i like to make prints a few times a year and some of these appear in my exhibitions. I have explored most printing techniques and I still love the processes involved in creating a print with that forever element of chance.
In textiles, I can explore colour and mark making using both the sewing machine or hand sewn techniques. I also like to use recycled plastics, threads, and wools and in doing so - help save our planet.
