There has always been a preoccupation with the body, from youth to motherhood. It will never not be fascinating and deeply important to me, like the canvas, for its potential and its limitations.
Distortions of perspective and fractions of images collected throughout my life all form a visual narrative which connect my pieces to one another. Becoming a mother and being an artist at the same time, I have also embodied these themes.
The images in my work are usually organic forms, visceral at times. Pastels, petals and rich gold always find their way into the paintings, making it seem typically ‘prettier’ than it actually is. Erased, re-worked and often left to seep, there is always a balance being formed, the pursuit of equilibrium.
