Coming from a family of artists and makers, my love of art was firmly rooted from an early age. I watched with wonder my mother sketch, draw and paint, and make tiny sculptures out of candle wax and the wax covering off of cheese.
I am inspired by the world around me and depict visual vignettes of my world - how the everyday, the seemingly mundane, becomes extraordinary. I paint with paints, inks, fibres, threads, fabrics, papers on just about any substrate, from cardbaard, wood, fabrics to canvas.
As a therapist by trade, art is my own therapy. But more than just an individual experience, I believe art becomes a collective therapy.

I paint with paints, inks, fibres, threads, fabrics, papers on just about any substrate, from cardboard, paper, wood, fabrics to canvas. Regardless of the medium, my work is an expression of my experience of the world - a peek into my life, my experiences, my imagination, my dreams.As a therapist by trade, art is my own therapy. But more than just an individual experience, I believe art becomes a collective therapy. We deconstruct and reconstruct, and although unfinished, we are always becoming.
