I paint because I love it. Plain and simple!
I love light and colour. These two things inform my work. I am largely self-taught but have studied painting and drawing with various teachers over the years since I began to take art-making seriously after the birth of my children. When my eyes “opened” I have been consistently trying to capture and express that light in any way that inspires me, whether it is using oil/canvas (my preferred medium) or charcoal and graphite on any surface I can lay my hands on.
Recently I was asked to participate in an international project, “Landfill art” , creating art from abandoned car hubcaps.(http://www.landfillart.org)

Live in the moment for that is all we have.

burglary

Last week we were robbed. Luckily it was not at gunpoint, but my son was hit in the face with a torch and got a black eye and a lump on his head. My laptop was stolen with all my digital artwork on it…
