vessel of light Sculpture

Inspired by the ever changing landscape and beauty of beautiful British Columbia . I find myself continually looking for ways to portray this in my work . Painting is my primary way of expressing my thoughts on the relationship between nature and beauty . I try to be present to the subtleties of life in the moment.Working the paint and waiting to see what appears . This exploration requires a constant reminder to be here in the now. Open to what will unfold, fearful I'll ruin something , but fearless in the ability to try. The mystery and curiosity of life is always surprising ,with painting I can convey the essence of my reality . More recently I have been exploring sculpture in relationship to the female form . I use materials that represent my feelings or what it’s like to see the world as female . Using materials like , Papier - maché for fragility , plaster for vulnerability and bronze for strength . With this approach I shift between oil, watercolor, pencil , ink, textiles ,wax , plaster and bronze . The true story unfolds through patient experimentation.
