Portrait of woman "That's what she said"

Artist statement:
"This work presents an analysis on the power of words and phrases. I am specifically interested in the ambiguity of words and that their meaning is context dependent. From combining awesome with sauce to transforming the name Karen to a verb, I am often left scratching my head at the evolution of the english language."

In my art practice, I turn my life’s stories into captivating visual tales. Like pages torn from an intimate diary, my artworks tell all my secrets. I love to dance between the real and surreal, manipulating familiar subject matter as a gateway to the imagination.

As I dive into the human experience, I catch both the highs and lows that shape our lives. I think of my art as a mirror – it reflects the joy and struggle we all go through. When you look at my work, it’s not just about what I see – it’s about what you see. I want you to interpret, connect and insert your own story within the blank spaces of my compositions.

This artwork was exhibited in my solo exhibition, 'Mid-sentence' at Gatakers Artspace in Maryborough, QLD in April 2022.

"That's what she said" was carefully drawn with high quality artist pencils on Moleskine artist paper.
