Artist Statement
Using mediums such as acrylic,
pencil and water colour, I
paint reflections of what I
imagine exists, usually
through the lens of women and
animals experiencing reprieve
from place. I rarely locate my
subjects as I prefer to
explore their emotional states
as well as their interaction
with activities. For example,
I am currently working on a
series of 8X10 canvases
featuring fruits and
vegetables being cooked by
women: Lemon Girl, Tomato
Girl, Cabbage Girl, etc. I
focus on the relationship
between the colours of the
food and the emotional state
of the cook. Each girl has a
special relationship with what
she is cooking (which is shown
by her style of dress), so the
viewer is lead from one small
painting to the next in the
process of assembling an
interpretation of the visual
“meal” or “dinner party.”
Consequently, I indirectly ask
my audience to look into my
imagination to see the
potential the relationship
between my characters and
their cooking. This reflects
one of my voices as an artist:
art is about letting one’s
imagination loose on the
world, and in the case of my
current project – the kitchen.
