"My personal cultural and creative heritage and the interaction between the artist and chosen material, my works, techniques, and subject matter all exist within the umbrella concept of FLOW"

 

 

"The spontaneous nature of my process is rooted in an intellectual and material exploration of the synchronized containment and expansion present during my creative process.

Coinciding with a curiosity of the origins and connotations of colour, my personal cultural and creative heritage and the interaction between the artist and chosen material, my works, techniques, and subject matter all exist within the umbrella concept of F L O W. Flow is a process-led concept in which intuitive painting and textiles are the focus which, developed over the last few years, represent an abstract aesthetic and mechanism for exploring personal, emotion and social issues.

This newly developed language of colour, painting and textiles highlights the transformation when a piece transitions from one state to the other, thereby blurring the boundaries between painting and textiles.
My unique practice encompasses all that I am, merging design and visual art."
