BIO
My paintings started in response to the liminality experienced during the pivotal change from girl to woman. These paintings emerged again during our transition into living in the Prairies of Canada. Our transient lives, that of our technologies and the world we live in fascinate me. On my return to the UK I continue to delve into these themes as I find my feet in Cornwall. My paintings celebrate our past and express excitment about our future where nature and innovation sit side by side
