Artwork Description

Discarded garments and objects inform much of my practice. There's something incredibly beautiful about these old fashioned and worn out things that once occupied such intimate places in people's lives, against their skin, witnesses to their most private moments. My grandmother was a tough but glamorous woman. She cdsewore a rabbits foot brooch with a large amethyst and a kilt on special occasions. When I look at these shoes I can hear her wonky piano ringing out loudly.

Artist Bio

My studio is in the middle of my home, We live by the forest, The forest is full of creatures and birds. The house is full of things, dust, art and sometimes creatures as well. My paintings evolve over many hours, sometimes months, building layer upon layer. For me this is the thing that is so wonderful about painting, it's slowness.
