Process
I investigate themes of physical and emotional terrain, body, and identity to express personal narratives. My work continually evolves through research and studio-based experimentation. Using dynamic brushstrokes, organic shapes, and layered textures, I explore the balance between movement and stillness, chaos and control. Often mounted in unconventional ways, such as spilling or growing from walls, her art blurs the line between traditional and experimental forms. _My style blends fluid, expressive painting with delicate lines and intentional structures, resulting in works that feel both spontaneous and deliberate. Colour plays a central role in her process, deeply inspired by nature and the ever-changing effects of light and shadow.

LINE DRAWINGS
Drawing is an essential part of my work. It is where I begin to think and process and formulate ideas. There are two ways I love to make initial drawings. One is making large expressive drawings with charcoal or large brushes. For these I use gestural lines and enjoy getting physically engaged in the composition. And then I make smaller, more intimate drawings where I am very intentional about how I describe the different qualities of the line...

THE SCULPTURES grow out from the drawing and painting process
I create and recreate a composition repetitively; letting it appear in an impulsive way at first, then pulling it apart and playing with ways to reconstruct it.
I paint on top of drawings and draw with paint brushes. I cut up work on paper and canvas so I can recreate the forms in 3 dimensions and I use painted surfaces to create temporary wall drawings.
Blurring the distinction between painting and sculpture.

This ongoing process of taking in, responding and reconstructing is like a conversation that develops over time. A conversation with line, colours, myself and the landscape.
