representational paintings focusing on my everyday life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of the paintings have some personal
significance to me such as flowers from my garden, my partner and objects in my
immediate environment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In doing these
works, I discovered many different layers of meaning within seemingly simple
objects and experiences. These paintings are also a metaphor for
stripping back the masks we wear. However, I prefer to leave the final
interpretation up to the viewer as everyone will see something different in the
work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><i>Tell us a little about your artistic journey...</i></b><br />
I have been an artist ever since I can remember. As a young girl I
spent most of my time painting and drawing. I became serious about my
art practice about 13 years ago when I was in a position to dedicate
more time to painting and haven’t looked back.<br />
<br />
<b><i>What inspires you?</i></b><br />
Life, nature, colour, movement, freedom, other artists.<br />

<i><b>What are the main medium(s) that you work in?</b></i><br />
I work primarily in oil painting, but also drawing, printmaking and occasionally sculpture.<i><b> </b></i><br />
<br />
<i><b>How would you describe your work? </b></i><br />
My work is very diverse and is constantly evolving. Essentially it explores the themes of nature, spirituality and femininity. <i><b> </b></i><br />

<i><b>Tell us about the specific pieces submitted for 'Anatomy' at View Point Gallery </b></i><br />
The two paintings address the issue of mortality and are a reminder of
the importance of living in the moment. The Artist’s book was created
from a meditation on the landscape. It includes poetry and drawings of
found objects such as bone, dead leaves and flowers. The naked female
figure sitting beside a river in the landscape symbolises that we are
all one with nature, life and death. The choice of handmade paper
represents impermanence and transience.<br />
<br />
<b><i>What are you working on currently?</i></b><br />
At this stage, I am continuing to respond to the landscape. I am also
considering introducing the figure and other elements into the
paintings.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207225519474571505.post-73999921319512108032013-04-25T04:24:00.000-07:002014-08-03T23:55:23.137-07:00Memento Mori<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
