The Art House is approachable, cheerful and welcoming...

Artist statement

I am a mixed media artist who has a strong belief that art should be accessible and enjoyable for everyone. My most recent work is based on figure and the landscape. I make serene and meditative sculptural forms from clay, with very little surface colour. Into these, I endeavour to build contrasts in surface and texture to emphasise the sensual qualities or larger, more abundant female forms. In community arts, I initiate people centred work and wish to see participants define their own terms in art. I am a member of the National Artists' Association Management Committee and I am on the national visual database of artists, AXIS.
