Statement
Negative space, collage and subtle layering of colour and texture interact with one another on the picture plane to evoke a playful sense of discovery. Themes I explore relate to natural and home environments with a sense of wonder and amazement about our surroundings.

I typically create in an intuitive manner and my work is often informed by what speaks to me in the moment, allowing the surface of the canvas to guide my hand in the placement of paint, paper and colour. This approach allows for spontaneity and exploration in my creative process. I collect fabric, paper, information and other objects to have an abundance of inspiring materials on hand.
