My work always begins with a strong visual reaction to light-play. Something always attracts me, and I need to explore that attraction and the underlying emotion that the real world evokes. Whether it be painting or sculpture, my work concentrates on form and movement and how image or form occupies space, with emphasis on nuance rather than detail.
My attraction to 3D work added to a love of ‘sparkley things’ led me into jewelry-making. Using the very tactile medium of metal clay, I have incorporated my fascination for the human face into wearable portraits, and whimsical necklaces and earrings inspired by ancient cultures and vintage designs.
