“I find myself exploring the interplay between shape, line, form and space. My imagination follows the path that my brush takes me on until I finally discover where a piece is taking me. When the dance between these elements converge to complete the final image, the end result often surprises me.”
Style
Her love of nature, the beauty in simple objects, architecture and personal stories have been the influences that have driven her creativity. Her hope is that her art takes people on an unexpected journey, where one can look at everyday situations in an unexpected way; where perceived space is filled with shapes, colour and interest.

This painting deals with domestic violence against women. I think it also describes aptly the fear and isolation some of us are experiencing right now given the current climate in the world and right here on our own doorsteps.
