I'm interested in how the stories we tell re-jig  depending on the threads we pull.  Our stories about things as banal as what happened yesterday or as important as History or are constantly in flux, depending on our perspective in the moment.

 

What I love about art is how marks and colours convey a story. Looking at art, whether abstract or realistic,  prompts us to search for a coherent, authentic, meaningful  story.  

 

As an artist I delve into this quest.  Working with paint, found ephemera  and created materials, I work to excavate and weave visual stories. I'd like the resulting work to be like poetry; to invite connections, but resist a single, settled reading. 

​

This process​ draws on a lifelong interest in both Art and Literature; in the  ideas, materials, compositions, techniques and history - all of which I try to play with in the work.
