If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Painting

About my artwork: I was born in Middlesbrough and studied there and in Sheffield where I gained a first class (hons) degree in fine art (B.A.) before going on to Manchester and an M.A. During my student days I exhibited as a British Young Contemporary. Since then I've has shown work in London, Brighton, Sheffield, Manchester, Middlesbrough, York and Newcastle.

I changed format as I matured and moved from painting realistically to painting purely imaginatively. I have had to develop new skills and techniques to support this. She works directly on to board or canvas with no preliminary drawing and feels this makes the process exciting and energised. Not relying on models to work from I find both liberating and challenging.

My is influenced by Japanese, Egyptian and Tribal art. In particular through the use of line and archetypal pattern. My work is motivated by my views as a woman and a lesbian and I have concentrated on showing women as powerful beings . I use images from fairytale, history, mythology and religion with the objective of revealing women’s strength and sensitivity. I achieves my aims through reassessing the accepted image and remodelling it, the use of transparency, nakedness and pattern and the dissecting of the human face and form with line.
