Statement

My practice is committed to working between inner and outer landscapes.  I work with abstraction, having spent many years working from the natural environment, interior spaces and still life.  The abstract nature of my work relates back to a time when I worked on large abstract paintings that were based on intuition.  My work is now once again very intuitive, automatism is embedded in my creative process, this helps to provide a space for memory and connects my subconscious mind.  I will make work that alludes to landscape; however, it is the paint and marks that create the landscape rather than an actual depiction of a space/place.    Some of my pieces are reminiscent of spaces within a body, such as cells or interior body parts.  These help me make connections between body and place.
