My work is informed by my immediate environment; by nature and by collected objects that have resonance of family and community.
Drawing, painting and printmaking underpin my creative practice, however, I freely move from these to three-dimensional materials, photo and film.
For me, engaging with materials is a very important part of the creative process.
The work exhibited is for sale.
