My work is influenced by many things; mythology, folk tales and invented stories, leaving their dark side laid bare. It is about my life, the lives of others, and sometimes the life of no one at all. I use images of the past, feelings of the present and dreams of the future to inspire me in my art.
I usually work in a small format, using mainly mixed media that can include drawing, pen and ink, painting and collage. However lately, I have been experimenting in other sizes and mediums like charcoal and sculptures using clay.
I enjoy this new freedom of using different materials now, as I can explore much more and feel I can express my ideas in a multiple of ways now, whereas before I started to feel limited.
