BIOGRAPHY

I live and work in Herefordshire, United Kingdom.

Early sensory connections to my birthplace, Vancouver Canada, nestled between the ocean and mountains and memories of a  childhood in the Midlands countryside, permeates my practice.

My practice explores humanness- navigating outside-in, inside-out and the in-between.

 Incorporating my surroundings I explore beginnings, endings, the body, feminism, identity, motherhood, drawing on Kleinian thinking, mythology, early civilisations and my experiences as a Child Psychotherapist.

Intrigued by the fragile border between the conscious and unconscious my work explores through painting, mixed media,  sculpture and installations internal and external landscapes.

In the making process I fuse and transform things. Combining natural and manufactured materials, giving  them space, following their rhythm, malleability and resistance. Imbued with emotional memories my work acquires a life of it's own.  My work can evoke complex emotions in the viewer as it reveals unprocessed emotional, physical and psychological aspects of ourselves.
