My artwork is about storytelling. Narratives are compiled using original photography, illustration, textures and light. Work generally reflects what I see, how I interpret the world. Subject matter are fragments of the real and unreal, constructed as a running commentary of current events. This work has come out of lockdown during COVID and my isolation has produced a stream of consciousness that is constantly interpreting events in the outer world. The focus is women; the soothsayers, mystics, and amazons. Flesh and blood and every one a goddess.

Biography
My work lies somewhere between illustrative narrative, photography, and collage. Media is stripped down to basic elements, light and texture. Details are taken away then integrated back into the artwork to shape new composite works. Forever analyzing the enigma of being human, I construct and deconstruct the boundaries of my photographic world. There has been a natural progression for me to move from 2D art into 3D and experimental animated film. Recently, my film A Magic Lantern received the award for Most Seductive animation at Aggregate Space Gallery’s 2nd annual film festival.
