For me, drawing is an act of resistance to alienation. By drawing using my senses, I take space and time to come in close and be involved in what's around me.

This is a process that forms connection. 

​

I watch crows and hang out with muscular trees. I draw in the rain.

I work primarily in charcoal and pastel, sometimes using fluid mediums of watercolour or ink, spilling over into monotype and experimental low-tech printmaking. Choice of material is carefully considered.

​

Rather than feel scarcity, I choose to see abundance. I refuse to accept the state of fear we are currently conditioned to feel. By continuing my work, I oppose the priorities and the language increasingly imposed upon us and the destructive disconnection and subsequent addictions being created and exploited by those who seek to profit. 

​

My workshops––for the public, art students and creative practitioners––form an extension of my artistic work in that I share my experimental approach, encouraging people to look again, loosening their grip on intention and certainty. I offer an invitation to find out for yourself.​

​

I continue to be influenced by the work of those who have urged us to see beyond what we are simply told.
