Artist Statement:
Still life painting, as a
pictorial genre, has
traditionally been considered
a “minor” form of artistic
expression and invention.
Much of my paintings are
simple, or as Norman Bryson
writes, ‘it is a form of
rhopography –‘from rhopos’,
trivial objects, small wares,
trifles…the depiction of those
things which lack importance,
the unassuming material base
of life that ‘importance’
constantly overlooks”- the So
what?
My work looks at the
overlooked, from which the
human figure has been
banished, leaving objects that
are usually assimilated to
woman’s sexuality as seen in
the home, a woman’s place
filled with those familiar
objects of desire.

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
The biggest artistic inspiration to me would be that of the work of Pablo Picasso
I love his use of political metaphores using distorted shapes and colours in their most form in order to bring alive a kind of realism of a politcal historical event, or personal love of his.
They stimulate my thought processes to produce my own images. Painting to me is a kind of performance to bring alive a sort of realism in still life or what ever I choose to paint. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I have always been an artist and produce things that give me pleasure. I love others to share with me my work and if it does, so be it. |
