Artist Statement:
Qualified and worked as a
Graphic Designer for 18 years.
Started painting and sculpting
in protest against the
restrictions imposed by
computer technology.
The exploration of the plastic
qualities of the medium, be it
oil or wax, is important.
Contradiction, the play
between realism and abstract,
impasto and glazes, light and
dark, brutal and sensitive,
textures, sensuality, mood and
emotions. Some works are easy,
others a struggle - one thing
leading to the next, until the
whole appears.
Her works form part of
collections locally and abroad
and have been exhibited in
various galleries....
