Rock Water Air series 1 (drawings) no.9 Drawing

The focus of my practice is rooted in my experiences and response to my surroundings. Whilst living in London it was the urban environment that provided source material for me to excavate and develop but since moving to Wales, 27 years ago, the focus of my attention has shifted from the urban to the natural landscape. I work in series, very often repeating the same motif but in different configurations and scale. Just as my focus of inspiration lies at the edges of the air, land and sea, my creative practice lies in the area between the intentional and incidental. Working at these edges demands a mind-full awareness and presence that embodies my experiences of the world. Over recent years I have been exploring a broader, fresher colour palette using gardens and botanic references as my inspiration to create work that celebrates life with the intention of being joyful and up-lifting.
