Since I was a young girl, l have always been attracted by objects that speak of history and far off places. Born in the Mallee, with a mother who is French/Welsh, l loved to go to Melbourne and breathe in the smell of my grandparents house, her parents. The fascination with their furniture and belongings has stayed with me throughout my adult life. Possessions have a sentimentalism that l feel fills a void in my story.

My artwork then leads into this scenario almost every time. I do enjoy skyscapes and outdoors but I absolutely adore inside landscapes.

Firstly I do a Gouache painting to get acquainted with my subject. Then l like to paint with Acrylic and give the same subject a different expression. I am not tied to capturing exactly what is true and correct but my interpretation of what l see.

I realise how important painting is for my sense of equilibrium in this world and therefore the role it plays in so many people’s lives both as artists and viewers.

I like to think l don’t take myself too seriously but l am serious about being able to have self expression for myself and the greater community.
