StatementMy writing and my artwork are connected. I collect many elements of what I hear, see, and sense in the world. Currently I am engaged with exploring the landscapes around me, inside and out – what surrounds me, what’s inside me and what I imagine of other lives and times. I use writing, abstraction and layering with many different art materials in my explorations and creative practice.
