Artist Statement:
popular contemporary and
historical imagery, blended
with fantasy, proffer a path
of extensive perennial
inspiration of my creative
work. By juxtaposing diverse
pictorial elements from global

theatre takes place; each a
stage where drama is visually

images, in essence, are
metaphorically transformed
characters. Whether conscious

experience becomes an integral

metamorphosis, rendering a new
meaning and depth.

simplicity of line and
rendering of the pictorial.
Throughout, concrete
expression of her style flows
as “extensions of my thoughts,
day to day happening of things
