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 relationality to land, water, rewilding and community.  I intend my public work to communicate the beauty of relationships in nature that shape and hold us in wholeness.  

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
