I am a Melbourne based artist and love to explore colour and texture by pouring various mediums directly onto the canvas, layer by layer, building them up with stenciled motifs and patterns. With an educational background in graphic design and many flirtations with other art forms such as ceramics, jewellery and textiles, I have finally found my niche in abstract painting. I am constantly inspired by playing with different mediums trying to achieve a variety of effects, and find daily inspiration from textiles, fashion, patterns found in the everyday and my children's artworks.
My desire is to create artworks that lift people’s spirits through the use of colour and texture. I want to create pieces that not only are rich and vibrant to look at, but which also make you want to reach out and touch. I want the intensity and luminosity of the colours and the tactile elements of the paintings to wash over you. Perhaps more than anything, I want them to evoke a sense of home and comfort wherever you choose to hang them.”
