My Story

Welcome to a collection of my work and thank you for stopping by.

 My art practice draws on injustice and it is inspired by politics.  The politics of being a woman.   The politics of holding those in power to account by expressing a point of view through the power of words, deeds and creativity.   I call it ‘Artivism’.   Nina Simone once said, ‘An artist’s duty… is to reflect the times.  It’s their choice, but I CHOOSE to reflect the times and situations in which I find myself.  That, to me, is my duty.’  I use my creative voice to develop narratives that speak to who I am, what I see and  what I want to represent, by exploring themes on Feminism/Misogyny, Mental Health and an Exploration of Self.

In doing so the process of creating is as important as the end result with in-depth research and development of each theme.   All work is approached with love, care, sometimes mischievousness and authenticity using a wide range of mixed media and sometimes a little alchemy.   The written word is also an important part of my art practice, my aspiration is to make a positive contribution to Feminist Art History with my ongoing research and writing in the field of Age Studies in relation to the representation of Menopause in art and culture.
