Artist Statement
Story-telling, language-teaching, travelling, and simply being, all nurture my interest in the visual arts. My images move from language, human relationships and travel experiences onto my support. I work within traditional realistic codes and with codes that challenge realistic conventions. My favourite media are charcoal, pen and wash, and oils. I like oil paint best when it's applied thick with a palette knife.
To help me understand more about how this happens, as well as to develop my practical skills, I am currently pursuing a BA in Fine Arts at Curtin University through Open Universities Australia.
