“Since its inception, my art making has been very much a personal journey and in many senses autobiographical. My paintings exist as a visual diary, mapping the journey I have taken from birth into adulthood, drawing from past memories, present experiences and future aspirations. Eastern spirituality and the dual nature of ourselves is a consistent thread running through my work. In its broadest sense, I am exploring the interrelationship of the feminine and masculine principles within the self and the universe.
In a world out of balance I take refuge in my studio, a place where I can be alone and enter a private space of introspection and meditation. For me, painting is an intuitive process, driven more by feeling than intellect. Through art making I am free to explore that which I believe is most necessary for my healing and the healing of our planet. My paintings are my medicine”.
