I am an artist working in the outsider / visionary tradition. Feminine, archetypal images come to me as visions from my dreams and myths from my subconscious. Magic lives in these dark, juicy, liminal places.
I am a life-long beachcomber, forest-forager, city sidewalk-culler and incorporate found objects in my sculpture. Casein is the paint I prefer, an ancient paint composed of earth and mineral pigments using milk solids/ casein as the binder – a modern form is called “milk paint”. Furniture and wooden domestic architecture painted with casein has lasted for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
I paint on birch panels whenever possible, incorporating local beeswax, 23 ct gold leaf and metallic markers when something in a painting wants to be illuminated.
