Making art out of prosaic stuff, hoping for some poetry

​​I mainly paint and draw, fuelled by my interest in female agency,
I use history, mythology, and personal memory  to stand witness to often hidden or silenced lives, particularly those of women.
The materiality of thought and feeling is key, so I let my chosen mediums lead me, whether oil paint, graphite, or smoke. 
Process, time, and the relationship between object and subject link the recurring patterns and images in my work:
​doubling; elusive surfaces; ambiguity.  Hands, masked faces, mirrors, and threads are common;
​isolated or overlooked individuals, both past and present, frequently appear.
