I am a mixed media artist living and working in Adelaide, South Australia. I work intuitively - what bubbles up from the subconscious can be revealing and full of insight.

Layering has always been an important element in my work and I find with each painting, it is like going on a journey. I like to see what lies beneath the surface, to see what this work has been through, the path it has led me on, the portals it has taken me through.

The key is to remain open to the subtle changes and variations as each painting evolves, sometimes allowing the element of chance to prompt a response. It's all about letting go and allowing the subconscious a free reign to come out and play. This ultimately lays the groundwork for potential spiritual regeneration and the finished work resonates with clarity of vision. Create from the heart with minimal editing.

"Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for color, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential." (Wassily Kandinsky)
