ABOUT THE ARTWORK
From my series Red Forest about my struggle with anxiety In an attempt to calm anxiety, I draw circles of pattern or design to instil a flow state. These Mandalas came about to help me express emotion and to assist in releasing my racing mind of overactive thoughts. Carl Gustav Jung is credited with introducing the Eastern concept of the mandala to Western thought and believed this symbol represented the total personality-- aka the Self. Jung noted that when a mandala image suddenly turned up in dreams or art, it was usually an indication of movement toward a new self-knowledge. He believed that mandalas denoted a unification of opposites, served as expressions of the self, and represented the sum of who we are. I attach many different feelings, memories and meanings to certain colours and this can then become a feature in the subconscious.

Born in 1979 and raised in Papua New Guinea, I have been painting for fun all my life and love expressing myself through colour. I studied Visual Art and Photography after finishing high school in Toowoomba and continued in the workforce in several areas of the arts including gallery work, art supplies convening, workshop co-ordinator, photographer and picture framer. In the last 7 years I’ve delved into my own art a little more seriously. I paint large scale, expressive, acrylic paintings of cows, elephants and more recently birds. My fascination with birds came from my childhood in PNG surrounded by beautiful toucans, cockatoos, parrots, hornbills, birds of paradise and many others. I find the amazing feathers, beaks, claws and quirky behaviours of birds intriguing. The finished pieces are colourful, splashy, bold dripping paintings. I’ll always paint birds as they’ve become a customary part of my artistic vocabulary now.
