I am an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, printmaking, fabric construction, collage and education. I integrate notions of female experience, aging, nurturing, creativity and my relationship to the interior and exterior human and physical landscape. For twenty years I have been been travelling to central southern Spain and later to North Africa. In both places the experiences of heat and light has fuelled my creativity and continues to do so. Colour, impasto paint, oil stick and grit, soot and embroidery threads are stitched, scraped, scored and dragged onto surfaces of board and canvas or form collagraph prints. I want there to be a direct and physical energy. There is an ambiguity in my images. The passing of time, my children as unruly flowers in cramped interiors, narrow streets of medieval towns and medinas all mingle together. Nothing is fixed, all is movable and subject to change.
