A Little Bit About The Artist

A Statement From The Artist

My work is narrative focused, exploring different stories, feelings and themes to produce motifs. I am drawn to depicting events with an underlying sense of unease, longing or wonder. I have always been intrigued by the mix of emotions, the major minor which captures some feeling within being a human. Working with art as a sense of human connection, stories and history. I currently work mostly with crochet. I am intrigued by the softness of the yarn and tactility of the medium in creating scenes or characters. Playing in not only with motifs but with this medium in the hard/soft.

What's your fave Gothic movie?
​​​​​​

The woman in black, I saw both the play and movie as a teenager it will always hold a special place for me.

​

Who or what is the biggest influence in your practice?
 

It's hard to say what is the biggest, but I guess our need as humans to connect, passing on stories, feelings and ideas to each other. In all the forms that this takes.
