About The Artwork
The theme of my work is identity and the layers of experiences that make up our lives, the roles we play, the parts we hide, and the mask we show to the World. My aim is to portray a sense of vulnerability, exposing glimpses of struggles, hopes and fears. I believe that it is when we show our true selves that we are at our most vulnerable and most beautiful. My use of colour, texture and layering is an attempt to generate an emotional, reminiscent feeling in the viewer, illustrating what I believe is the great beauty in imperfection and ageing. My abstract work takes the form of an escape from the ‘shackles’ and expected roles of life…a visual breaking free from what is ‘supposed to be’ and a step into authenticity. The theme of ‘Home’ often runs through my work. As the daughter of Irish immigrant parents, I was born in London, England, but often felt a lack of belonging. I didn’t feel English or Irish. I now live in Melbourne and have decided that home truly is where your heart is, and painting is my home.

It is my hope that my work will generate a reminiscent feeling, to times gone by when life seemed simpler. My use of layers represents the layers of experiences that make up our lives…we are constantly evolving, accumulating and changing…almost like layers of paint on the graffitied wall…a little bit broken and torn, but still beautiful. I hope to show a sense of vulnerability, of exposed glimpses of struggles, hopes and fears, whilst demonstrating the great beauty in imperfection and ageing. The theme of my work is home and belonging, the colours inspired by childhood holidays and destinations yet to be discovered. I am inspired by vintage posters and classic designs that have stood the test of time. I love listening to music when I paint. I admire the ability of the songwriter to evoke such a strong emotional response. That is my painting dream and goal.
