“My interests lay with the macabre and the darker side of humanity, focusing on those who have been outcast in society. Through paint I explore the feeling of existing in a physical body playing with the contrast between the more visceral qualities, and the ephemeral ghostliness of transient lived experience. A balance between abstract form and attention to the textural nuances of flesh, but the whole physical substance of the body, muscle, organ, fluid and bone”.

This is echoed in the works where the artist uses a range of process’s treating the oil with translucency at times to stain the canvas, wiping away paint using a rag, and juxtaposing this with more deliberate drawn marks using oil pastels or a brush. Combining a contemporary colour palette with traditional painting techniques.  

Her repulsion fascination with the body results in paintings that are raw, empowered and unapologetic, where some of the imagery could be considered grotesque, yet beautiful.  She is continuously questioning ideas of mortality and our own self-image, confronting our relationships to our own bodies and those around us.
