Artist’s Statement


I believe every person in this world is of worth and has value . For me Sabahattin Ali articulates this perfectly in his book Madonna In A Fur Coat .
“it is perhaps , easier to dismiss a man whose face gives no indication of an inner life . And what a pity that is : a dash of curiosity is all it takes to stumble upon treasures never expected.”.


Biography

I am an Edinburgh based artist . Her art practice encompasses figurative art , still life and the cityscape. Painting in both oil and acrylic. Exploring form and space with collage and linocut. Her work seeks to understand the the person, their individual life stories and the places that connect them to one another and to reveal their innate humanity. The year long Figure Course has given me direction and the opportunity to develop my style and skill set and I shall definitely be returning to carry on with the course next year.
