Artist Statement
My work centers around using art and its positive effects on a person’s emotional health and well-being. I believe that by using creativity as a tool to explore, express and manage emotions 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 media such as drawing, painting, small sculptural pieces, textual, handmade and self-published books. My artwork is a combination of my thoughts and life experiences, reactions to complex issues presented in therapy mixed with fantasy and reality. The artwork and medium allow me space to process and organise my thoughts.
