CHANGE

Technology has expanded our horizons whilst reducing our daily experience to a personal curated bubble. We have a wider knowledge of both the joy and the suffering experienced across the globe. And we have the tools to acknowledge or ignore it. The conditions exist for a collective consciousness of the need for fundamental change. My latest artworks explore these concerns from a female perspective, whilst celebrating the prospect of a better time for all; processing ideas through the use of symbolism; archiving change through the layering of imagery and the physical manipulation of paint and cold wax. 

PROVERBS

These paintings are inspired by my love of history and illustration. I have used oil and cold wax to develop surface textures in combination with stencilled and drawn elements, using similar techniques to those in the artwork I exhibited at Ely Cathedral in May 2022, (see below). 

ISLE OF ELY

My research for the 'After The Fall' exhibition has inspired me to continue to explore history and tradition in and around Ely. For this art work I  pulled apart integral creative elements and reassembled them using a mixture of materials, predominantly oil paint, cold wax and collage. Whilst some of this work is a departure from my usual figurative style, the more abstract pieces still have a clear concept and a figurative starting point.
