About

I make drawings and paintings that explore the psychological and emotional impact of lived experience on female identity.  My aim is to make work that has a deep emotional resonance. My process is inner and intimate - tracing a thread of thought and responding.

​

Automatic drawing and painting are the core of my practice. As I paint my mind meanders through fragmented memories, sounds, echoes of conversations, lines of text, secret thoughts and noted feelings. 

​

Different versions of events collide and compete for veracity on the surface of the painting. Strange yet familiar fragmented layers of meaning emerge creating ‘What-if” scenarios in my mind.  

 

There is ambiguity and doubt – that feeling of ‘Was it really like that, is that how it was?’ There is concealment – lost or repressed histories - elements that may be painted over or only partially revealed. 

 

My hand charts reverberations that echo through time – as past, present and possible futures collide in an elusive moment.
