About The Artwork

It was May 1985 I was allocated the property as a single person Not as an expectant Mother! It was May 1995 I returned to the local authority, and asked to be moved out due to the attacks of the stalker I put it to them concern of his attacks escalating As there were many more incidents than the few that have been portrayed in the collection, presented here! My frustration levels were through the roof My exasperation was at an all time high We waited all day for the removal man to arrive I did not have enough money A friend at the time Thankfully lent me some money, and turned into a gift To help me out Which it did big time If it was not for them I may never had got free Worst yet I went on to become estranged from them, and everybody I had come to know I cannot say I had a excuse It was just part of the breaking free from it all Needing time away from everything, and everybody I had known I was absolutely overly sensitive To anything remotely negative Despite going head long into even more negativity Bad Choices Selfishness A lot of growing pains With little mutual understanding at that time I felt It was area that eventually I became unhappy to live as individual But as a Mother I was tearing someone away from the place they loved A child From their childhood memories! It was tough But, toward the end I had become a bit careless Plus, a little wild I did not feel at that point I was being a good Mother Though I was devoted and continued to do my best Looking back The individual I was The individual that wanted to break free Was betraying my mothering skills The day was over We got out It was the only way to stop the constant attacks of the stalker Though, his attacks become more intermittent with the use of letters It did not stop him at all It just made his appearance more sporadic I had moved to this property after living in a bedsit Where there had become pregnant The property had a turnover residents You never could tell who will move in After some time it became clear Prostitution was going on Often exiting and entering the property There would be customers in the hallway It was impossible to use the communal bathroom as a result Previously, I had moved to the area, from an area where I had witnessed someone else be stalked, and assaulted by their neighbour! We were heading back to the same vicinity!

Born in London. From kitchen table top, to connecting to the market place creating a hub of creativity. I have had the opportunity and privilege to live and experience many different area's in England and addresses in and around London, living in different social conditions, with a different set of challenges and joy's at each location. These experiences continue to be the biggest influence and inspiration for my work to date, inspiring imaginative impressions, which translate into expressions of fictional characters, and decorative designs. Whilst I did attend formal schooling, I did manage to achieve leaving secondary schooling without qualifications. Later gaining qualifications by investing in vocational training. I initially took up sketching to help me with clothes design, attending a local community college, it was a cheaper option as a young parent at the time. I come from a background of naturally creative people, where things like clothes were made without patterns, or any prior preparation for design. It was a time of instinctive survival, with a jump in and get it done way of living and thinking, learn on the go type of attitude toward life. Writing poetry plays the role of being my first point of creativity, it is a combination of free flow journal writing, "free flow" is a method of unblocking personal expression. Examples of this is the pen sketch and textile remnant journals, where poetry, meaningful sayings, and short messages meet. Expressing myself through writing journals, poetry, and even finding a way of writing threw creating an image, led me to explore painting as a further means of deeper self expression, exploration and release. What emerged is a spontaneous method of painting, composition admittedly is not a study in every piece initially, but emerges in the form of allowing a subject to develop in a space, in whatever form or position it takes. Coming from the era where Art was not seen as a proper job, taking that notion on - for a long time. I struggled to come terms with art as anything other than frivolity, despite being a creative. To understand my work further; The experience behind the creative process. Throughout my life as a child to present day I have been effected by the collection of behaviours known as Stalking. As a child and teen I witnessed others experiences.
