Artist

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

Printmaking

I am...

Strong soft sound. A lithogropher and oil painter. Personal yet with held, flamboyant and outspoken, impatient yet consistent, Easily angered yet forgiving.

About my artwork

My lithographs are intensely personal, they are created from within my memories and images from my childhood and my experience as a female human being. My paintings struggle to grasp that feeling as they exist on the surface; they have yet to break away the outer layers and connect to my prints.

Artists I like

Cezanne, Matisse, Pollock, Toulouse Lautrec, Kiki Smith, Judy Chicago, Eva Hesse

Interests

I love people and music, art and food. Sand, sea, sky and rivers. Environmental conservation methods

The centre of the artworld is

nowhere and everywhere
