All my creative activity is inspired by a fascination with the ways in which we create our stories; the ways our narratives of reality can re-jig in hindsight, depending on the threads we pull.

That is the metaphor for my art.

 

I adore the layering of the personal with the political and the different ways people choose to acknowledge it at different times to recount stories as important as History and as

banal as what happened yesterday.

 

Using mostly created, but also found ephemera and paint, I unearth complex, layered 'stories  in my art through a playful game of 'call and response' that toys with convention and genre.

My method is grounded in years of experience with materials, composition, colour theory, drawing and studying art history as an art educator.
