My lifelong interest in the dialectical nature of being is ever present in my paintings. My general love of black and noir landscapes is counterbalanced unapologetically by bold colour palettes; pink shades often taking centre stage that span sweet childlike innocence to fiercely punk pink feminist irreverence. Themes of light and darkness filter onto the canvas through landscapes at once fantastical but reminiscent of the natural world. This is my telling of nature as an indomitable force that reflects our own inner natures. My works are not for feint hearted decorators, but for those who seek art that anchors a room.
I am self-taught in all I create. I spent the first 2 decades of my life loving drawing, the third consumed with professional singing and writing music, and from this I discovered the relentless lure of the hidden trance in creating. Many hours of my life have passed preoccupied with creating drawing after drawing, song after song and now, painting after painting. .
I mostly choose an abstract style as I don’t want to think or be ‘correct’ and care about making mistakes. Creativity is going with the flow for me.
