I’m a conceptually driven artist interested in the tension between traditional and other visual languages.
My work is deeply personal. My processes involve the alchemy of paint; how this translates ideas into form. I research uncertainty, traces, entropy, and cycles of change from my own relationships and experiences.
Kalos Eidos is an intense, playful and challenging exploration of my relationship with my twin sister.
I think with my hands, experimenting with conceptual and physical layering, taking risks materially and emotionally. I work with digital processes, printmaking, made/found objects, and detritus in my paintings and installations.
Biography
I’ve loved art since childhood but was also drawn to science; specifically Psychology.
After 33 years service as an NHS Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist a series of profoundly life changing events led me to Leith School of Art in 2017.
