Artist statement
2023
My creative practice is mainly in clay, but I also use painting and printmaking to express myself. I think that insights in art are supported by cross-discipline practices, they influence each other.
My work tends to go in cycles connected to my mental disposition at the time. Confident, loud, bold, mirrors when I am feeling productive and inspired hand-building and painting and then can be formal, structured, repetitive when working with slip-casting and printmaking reflecting a more low energy side to my process.
I would describe myself as a contemporary abstract artist. Continually inspired by nature and its forms and also drawn to the simplicity of a single brushstroke. A touch of gold lustre is becoming a signature mark.
