"What does the Baiana have..." Painting

My art is essentially a form of narrative that panders firstly to my passion to understand my fellow women (as well as myself) and secondly to humans' fundamental, naïve and age-old delight in story telling. In some incidents my paintings are autobiographical whilst in others they are based on observations of ordinary women’s lives be they “real” or “fictional” characters. In my art I attempt through story telling to entertain and challenge by drawing the viewer into my work by playing on their natural curiosity, desire to know about the characters to where events happen and who set events in motion.
