About my artwork
I take pride in the things that I make. I am not a great fan of tearing artwork apart verbally...you either like it or you don't. If you don't appreciate certain things then you move on and keep searching until you encounter something that catches your eye. Aesthetics is the most important aspect of art as far as I am concerned...that, and respect for the subject and fellow artists. We have all made art work with which we are not 100% happy...it has not looked right...it has not turned out the way we imagined prior to making it. Whilst you may not be content and wish to change elements of it, that piece may be viewed as a masterpiece by others. I view art a continuous learning curve...now and then you hit the nail on the head and match your mental visions with quality works. It is that marriage of mental and physical creation that makes the subject so appealing and exciting. My work covers several media areas but I am a sculptor at heart. My medium is lead. Whilst this is one of the heaviest and most ugly of materials to encounter in various states, when it is melted and recast it adopts a mesmorising new aesthetic quality and defies its natural state. It looks precious, tactile and fragile. Despite its obviously poisonous qualities, my work lures the onlooker nearer and silently requests that it is touched.

Nada Franka Love Cloud

Several years of making all sort of plans of revenge to the ex-husband for having sexually abused our son and subsequently trying to heal spiritually and emotionally by attempting to forgive in my heart with aim to free myself have resulted in an silent talk with God that night. I must say that my previous communication to the Almighty during that years were filled with accusation. I have been arguing with Him all the time. Why would He keep torturing and putting me in a really bad situation…See More
