“As an artist and painter, I am visually interested in mark making, the gesture, the dramatic & the visceral.  I am interested in the ‘nude’ and in contextual references socially & politically. I am interested in the identity and status of women historically, culturally and in the world of fashion.

The reoccurring, or underlying, theme of my work seems to be at is simplest, one of abstracting the feminine and feminising the abstract.

I deploy several different media in my artistic arsenal; female life studies, Abstract paintings, photography, text based paintings and poetry.

I don’t feel that this dilutes my focus, on the contrary, and in accordance to what’s available as a means of artistic expression, the parameters broaden every decade and art and artistic license encompasses a wider field of disciplines.  I see everything as a ‘work in progress’. In art as in life, nothing is ever completely finished, it’s just a stepping-stone to the next idea and the next project.”
