Artist Statement
Nature holds a huge draw for me and is healing and regenerative. My paintings are not planned or organized but directed by my inner spirit, I am the muse that applies the paint. My work is contemporary abstraction.
I work in acrylic paint and colour inspires the effects I create. I use colour and texture to create movement and vitality. Layer after layer of colours develop depth. This is an organic experience that often takes me to places I am not expecting.
These paintings were created in response to the theme “Pathways”.

In 1988, after purchasing an art gallery, she explored another aspect of creativity. She continued viewing art from a business woman’s perspective for 12 years. Since 2003 she has been painting full-time. Colour and texture are her inspiration and the lure of a blank canvas her muse.
