All my work comes from personal experiences with a focus on feminism, the environment, politics and history. I draw, paint, make sculpture, films and usable art.
I work in series beginning with writing and drawing. Then I’ll continue with series of paintings, sculpture, usable art, all during the same time period. Each series expands into a multi media statement connecting all the work. I am interested in mark making, words, stories, colour relationships and textures. My materials are pencils, paint pens, watercolour, acrylic, canvas, wood, wool, sticks, rocks, found objects and video.
