A WAY HOMe
The collection presents a combination of abstract form, animal symbolism, seasonal observation, and occasionally a sacred delivery of something more mysterious.

Pieces of me
Selected artworks
Below is a close up of ‘Compassion’, one of my major artworks from this collection. I painted thousands of tiny squares onto a printed fabric, leaving areas of the floral print exposed. The layering effect is intended to create a sense of age, like an ancient building, where time has eroded the details and left clues for us to imagine. I believe when we are forced to fill in the missing details, it is beneficial for our synaptic growth.
Birds frequently appear in my paintings. It is their sense of freedom and the open sky that draws me to birds. In this particular piece I have captured a moment of ascending flight, of liberation.
I was lying in bed, sleepy. A sudden and very strong urge arose in me. I dragged myself out bed and walked in the pitch dark to my studio. It was cold. Moments after entering my studio, and before thinking, I started creating this painting [below]. Once the painting was completed, I looked at it and was reminded of how, as a young girl, I looked up at the world with wonder. The vast mystery of it all was lonely and marvellous. I walked forward into the darkness. I walked trustfully. I still look with wonder, I still walk trustfully, but I am no longer alone.

Inspiration behind the ‘mosaic style’
I was breath taken by the mosaics of Ravenna, a small town on the north east coast of Italy.
Consequently I started experimenting with a painted mosaic style, and quickly realised how mediative the technique was. I became obsessed with the process. Creating the collection felt like taking a journey back home through valleys of emotion and instinct. None of the paintings were planned. I simply allowed myself to arrive at the canvas each day and followed a subtle guidance in the present moment. The paintings are full of birds and otherworldly sensations. When I create, my studio becomes a liminal place. I dip into the boundlessness with my paint to ground me.
