Artist information

I have a life-long interest in the nebulous; those thoughts and feelings that are so hard to pin down and explain to others. Though this comes out of deep sadness, the works I make are colourful. I have a definite starting point for each work but love not knowing exactly where it will arrive at, so each one develops organically. I will ask myself, ‘I wonder what will happen if …’ and off I go. For me, exploring the edge of conscious decision and intuition can be uncomfortable but always exciting. I am intrigued by our human predisposition to make sense of what we see and find I make abstract images that suggest objects.
