Artist's Statement

Life is constantly in flux and so is the content of the work I do. My work is about transformation. It is partly about how I investigate traditional and non-traditional materials associated with drawing and painting. I explore new meanings to create visually stimulating dynamic, emotive images.
 

Thematically, I am concerned with how globalization and post-modernism have opened up new and constantly shifting ideas and perceptions of the feminine form. I use the female form as a metaphor for all of life.
 

As the world changes so too does my perception of it. The visible results that I achieve are a direct extension of my “self” and all my psychological preoccupations. Layered into my painted constructions are objects that speak from the dawn of human civilization to current events. I link the immediate to the universal. The often mundane and alternative objects I use is an invitation to the viewer to journey into a world of ideas that get us thinking, discovering and seeing meanings which lie beneath the veneer of everyday life.
 

In transforming my artist materials I aim to transform the viewer. His/Her sight becomes new insight…
