Artist Statement  

  Art is vital to ecology & humanity; it creates wholeness and perspective in our communal and personal realities. I am seeking public artwork projects, residencies & exhibitions to engage in reciprocity to land, water, rewilding and community.  I intend my public work to demonstrate the beauty of relationships in nature that educate, uplift and shape us as a community. 

Common threads found in my work are: liminal spaces, honour and ritual in & out of place, womanhood and ecology. The painted and pigment-stained canvases are movements in understanding self/land and they are windows into womanhood, healing and reciprocity with our shared homes, bones & hearts. Sometimes they are a map, guide or escape to time, wild gods and shapeshifting spaces.  

I’ve always been fascinated with portals; powerful, sublime spaces that can transcend or transport those who are brave enough to delve into their depths. I am exploring connective, liminal spaces and their ability for convergence and transport. Their ins & outs and potential vision or escape from a cultural prevailing dualistic consciousness.  

I am often found mixing things; like pigments in oil or water, compost in soil, flour in water and kids in gardens. I work in oils, watercolour, acrylics, foraged natural materials/pigments and sculptural materials. I am inspired by collaboration in pubic art and mural designs, installation and moving with the Land. I wrangle myself into wholeness with sculptural weaving. I am searching for clarity with the classic scrape of palette knife on canvas.

The force of liberation will blow the world to pieces,

it is too strong a current for the wire
