Beautiful on the inside Paintings

These paintings are internal self portraits, exploring parts of myself that I have been taught are unacceptable, wrong or even frightening.

They are love poems to myself. I believe the physical is sacred, and part of my mission is to re-consecrate the profane, starting with my own inner world.

I create work in layers to build up surfaces that are rich and varied, with layers of iridescent paint, collaged tissue paper and glitter that gives them a sense of life and means they change with the light and where we view them from.
