My artistic journey is a constant exploration, a playful dance between imagination and the diverse materials that fuel it. A jumble of wires can become the skeletal framework of an alien spacecraft, while a scrap of fabric transforms into the wings of a mythical creature. I draw inspiration from stories both ancient and modern – from the poignant tale of Madame Butterfly to the fantastical adventures of imaginary beings.

This diverse range of inspirations translates into a varied artistic practice. I work across mediums, from the delicate forms of ceramic sculpture to the vibrant textures of fabric and metal. I paint with acrylics, sketch with crayons and pencils, and even incorporate quilting into my work, often layering these techniques to create unexpected and intriguing results. My artistic output evolves over time, reflecting changing interests and a constant stream of new inspirations.

I invite you to delve into this ever-evolving world of artistic expression. Discover the stories that unfold within each piece, and experience the magic that emerges from the interplay of imagination, materials, and the ever-changing human experience.

I hope you can join me looking at the stories I tell in my own unique way.
