Each painting I create is a one-off, original artwork. I have consciously chosen not to create prints of my works, as I believe each painting has a spirit and a feel- something which cannot be replicated.
Each painting tells a unique story from my life, my experiences, my thoughts, my culture. Stories in which are carried with me and sometimes only told through art.
Many of my artworks draw inspiration from my home town of Wagga Wagga, a place in which I am deeply connected to. They also share stories of resilience, of strength and of the power of women. Some artworks are of the Dreamtime- sharing Aboriginal culture and storytelling in a contemporary Aboriginal art style.
It is rare that an artwork is not pondered over for weeks, if not months before I pick up the paintbrush and make the beginning strokes. Many of my ideas simmer and bubble away, with intimate details being thought out. Each painting is a mix of both creativity and thoughtfulness, intuition yet meticulous conception.
My colour palette varies from Earthy, natural and feminine tones, to bright and eccentric combinations of colour depending on the mood, the story and the feeling I am creating.
From examining the blank canvas, to wrapping and sending off, my art is created with love and detail. It is my passion, my pathway and my being.
