ARTIST'S STATEMENT:

As a collator of insights and a collector of gossip, my work has been dominated by a beloved medium - egg tempera. 

When maternal duties were all done and dusted, I plunged into an orgy of working in myriad media and studied art in all its varied manifestations for a period of 5 years in an attempt to find my creative feet. I finally settled on egg tempera as the medium best suited to my concepts of inner spaces.

I held onto this medium for the longest time. Finally tiring of the upkeep of this most difficult of mediums I searched for a medium that would give me the immediacy and brilliance of graffiti. This I found in paper, thread and acrylic on canvas, as here I was able to work on much larger supports than egg tempera would allow.

To my heart anchored brain my work is an exploration of uncertainty and the art that can be created from it and never about a neat resolution or redemption.

VISITORS

 I love your art and I mean it and use “art” in the fullest sense. I feel my raw human experience materialized in visual form.

Hello! Thank you for following me. I’m a 1st year art student who’s struggling with creativity and “thinking outside of the box”. I’m also struggling with the idea of putting together an harmonious art composition and working with colours because I’m used to charcoal and simple drawings. I just wanted to say, that I found your art so creative an inspiring. I think that i could learn so much from your art and I appreciate you for that.

That's because you make verry powerful beautiful artwork Really arty

That's cool Tina, you see a lot of stuff on here, and is hard to take it in but occasionally you find something which just jumps out and affects you. I love the use of thread and the drawing and painting, there is something renaissance about the spatial treatment and subjects are mystical and "weird" in the good sense. Very strong painting.

Your work is brutally beautiful
