Desire Painting

I am a self taught artist. I have been painting since I was a child and I have always loved art from a young age. My creations are inspired by my life experiences. In the body of work I have produced you will see themes of love, music, travel, work and motherhood. I have drawn on some life changing moments such as travelling overseas, getting married, and becoming a mother. Experiences which have all influenced my work. Once I have finished a painting I reflect on what was going on in my life when I produced it. It is only then that I ascertain its meaning. At times I’ll get an urge to create something without knowing why and only come to realise what the painting meant to me once it is finished. I love the freedom painting gives me to express myself. I enjoy working in various styles and experimenting with my technique. My artistic process varies from painting to painting. Most of my work is not planned before I put paint onto the canvas. This way of working gives me freedom to experiment and get lost in the process of making something special.
