Artist Statement
My work centres around using art and creativity as a tool to explore, express and manage emotions. As an Art therapist it can help individuals understand past and present problems acting as a curative power promoting and empowering them in their lives. As a process artist I use a variety of techniques and medium such as drawing, painting, small sculptural pieces, textual, handmade and self-published books for my own creative process. The artwork tends to be a combination of my thoughts, life experiences, reactions to complex issues presented in therapy and life, mixed with fantasy and reality. The artwork and medium allow me space to process and organise my thoughts.
