Colour has become the driving force behind my paintings. Every painting has a new palette – I perceive the world through colour.
More recently my work has been affected by the challenges and experiences of becoming a new mother. it has become more empowered and confident, the personal questions that arise from motherhood having a profound effect on me. Gestural and emotive marks come together. A battle between surface, paint and my eye, creating an unexpected balance in composition. A visceral reaction to colour.
I don’t like to plan the destination of a painting as it would impair the outcome. Each painting has its own journey. The excitement for me is in the journey, exploring colour, scale and personal emotion. An escape from the everyday.
