As an emerging artist living with disability from an acquired brain injury and mental illness, my art practice is both my voice and my mindfulness.
I am committed to my daily art’s practice and work out of my studio at Collingwood Yards. In 2016 I commenced my first mosaic and reflected on powerful Gaudi images from my Barcelona travels in the early nineties.
I usually work with natural recycled stone such as marble, travertine, slate and limestone. The individual marble tesserae resonate a powerful voice of mental health and wellness. The stone is cut and faceted to show the unexpected. I am unexpected! 17% of people live with a disability - they are born with it. The rest acquire the disability. A disability occurs every 15 minutes. It has the potential to happen to anyone. We are everywhere!
My life is enriched by my assistance dogs, Penny and Bella.
