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 and shape and hold 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. 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 for new ways and new worlds; an escape from the cultural prevailing dualistic consciousness and into the embodiment of relationality of being.  

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, water colour, acrylics, foraged natural materials/pigments and sculptural weaving materials. I am inspired by collaboration in public art and mural designs, installation and moving with the Land.  

The force of liberation will blow the world to pieces,

it is too strong a current for the wire

-Alan Watts
