“Sometimes it feels as though thoughts can travel in the wind and this is about catching those thoughts. The artist can make visible that which might not necessarily be seen. This work discusses what cannot be seen and yet, has been experienced. I am an artist – drawing, painting and printmaking at the heart of my practice. I believe that painting is a human language and will never disappear. For centuries, the artist’s imagination and the alchemy of materials have fused to create truly remarkable drawings and paintings. Words can fail us, but by engaging with materials, an artist is able to transfer a part of themselves and their inner world into a composition. The materials and our imaginations fuse into a visual poetry, communicating a hidden world.”
