Artist Statement

My inspiration comes from the colours and textures of Australia.I am enamoured by the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne and Margaret River regions. I use acrylic paint, sand, seagrass, flora, ink, pigments, gold leaf, silk fibres, paper, threads & stitch to create texture and surface embellishment.My latest works on canvas are more abstract in concept.
