‘Window’ series - The juxtaposition of prostitutes’ shop windows in the red light district, the staid physical facades of church steeples, create a dramatic back drop for the fairy light lit canals which make up the magic patchwork of Amsterdam after dark. The window fronts revealing layers of human psyche, enticing the voyeur to enter into their world. ‘Flesh for sale’. This digital print represents a cameo caught in time, recorded history in an ultra modernist world.

As a child growing up in Manchester I dreamt of becoming a great artist and opera singer. I would stick paper flowers on my parents wine glasses and draw faces in my schoolbooks. Unfortunately, I didn't go straight into the formal arts education as life led me in other directions; looking after and nursing family members stopped me from furthering my own career at that time. However while in America I did start quilting and rug making. Returning to London, I continued to be involved in the arts and crafts, theatre and singing. I also developed my interest in photography and painting and successfully finished my BA in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art & Design in 2002. My work is about moments in time captured, interpreted in my own way using an eclectic approach to my fine art practice. The work shown comes from a body of work called 'Tulips from Amsterdam', comprising about 500 images of paintings, drawings installations, etchings, prints and photography. Thus arising from my visit to Amsterdam in 1997. I was enchanted when I uncounted what I came to call 'The Elephant Bar'; the mural of two elephants adorned the wall and a Turkish lantern cast a lace affect pattern across this image. Upon my return to London I was haunted by this experience as I was already utilising images of elephants and lace as my source material in my fine art practice in London. There are four series of works, 'Bar' - 'Window' 'Elephant' and 'Tulip' in which I look at identity, femininity and the great gender divide. Reflect on the fragile infrastructure of the human psyche; visit the sites of my own imagination and also those of collective social history. I also challenge the design aspect of my quilting days for some of my tulip paintings by delving into the historic design of tiles, tapestry and woodcarvings.
