Statement:
Since becoming a parent, my paintings have investigated the chaos, humour, beauty and dark days of childhood.
As my two children grow up, my agenda is expanding as the dynamic between them as siblings, and me as caregiver, develops, with memories from my own childhood merging in.
Anxiety has played a major role in the images I create, with the various anxieties one experiences as a mother, evolving as my children get older.
I am becoming increasingly fascinated by the dynamic and dialogue between children and animals and of late, the impact of the climate emergency has started seeping into my paintings.
