Mixed Media Artist |
I am a local Hawkes Bay mixed media artist, married with two daughters. My hairdressing background has given me a strong creative flair, with an eye for detail and focus on colour and composition in my artworks. I am a self taught artist and enjoy the freedom to paint whatever, however with no boundaries to work by. My art is unique in style, not having to explain or interpret them, leaving the judgment in the eye of the beholder.
I aim to create rich vibrant works with a diverse range of subjects. I see my art as a creative journey, always exploring new concepts and developing innovative techniques. I push the boundaries of acrylic paints and the many mediums I use with them, most recently exploring the wondrous effects of resin. My style is very diverse and versatile with the genres spanning across contemporary, surrealist and abstract art. Having the freedom to paint intuitively is a unique attribute for me. I also work in ceramics, with a focus on sculpted wall art using stoneware and porcelain clays. Mixed media, metal and resin wall hangings also are part of my diverse range of artworks. |
