Available Paintings

“I started painting as a way to use colour that wasn’t available working in ceramics. I build up many thin layers of acrylic and other materials which affects the way light passes through, making viewing them an interesting and rich experience. I like to use unexpected materials and techniques, such as attaching semi precious stones with silver wire directly to the canvas. Many of my materials are reclaimed. I believe in the inherent value in all things, even those considered the most humble.

I consider them to be a kind of spell, imbued with magic as well as intellectual symbolism.”

They are intended to be experienced bodily, as living objects, changing with the light and movement around the room. The series are sometimes joined together loosely, as themes often cross from one body of work to another. Underlying it all is an eco-feminist sensibility and an urge to live in a world that is fully alive.
