Artist’s Statement:
My paintings and prints draw on connections between mythology and history, the female body and landscape. Working intuitively, information is absorbed and processed to the point where the organic integrity of the work is not overtly dependent on specific references. The aim is to interpret, realign and trigger possibilities rather than simply record and represent
