ABOUT

My sources are many…shadows, dreams, birds, National Geographic, the refugee crisis, objects, faces, family and sometimes I make small figures from card, paper, textiles and work from them.  I may work entirely  from imagination but usually also with representational imagery.  The background wash may dictate the content. I have  followed a theme as in my premature baby work.  

I use acrylics, oils and  ink together  with collage and monoprint. There has to be a feeling response to create a mood or atmosphere.  Spontaneity often needs drawing and research first.  By bringing together the outer and inner worlds it is my way of bearing witness to the sometimes unbearable world.
