ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I like my art to express the beauty of nature and to depict the colourful world we live in.

I have a passion for all things artistic, and enjoy creative challenges. Ever since my mum offered me a canvas and the use of her paints to create my first painting I haven’t looked back. I work in acrylic, pastel, oil and pencil. My work has been described as a little eclectic. I enjoy adding metallic accents and glitter to my works to enhance certain features and make them pop. I love watching the play of light as you move around the painting and view it from different angles.

One of the things I especially enjoy is face painting for children.

The moment when a child looks in the mirror and sees themselves depicted as a butterfly or monster and their eyes light up is truly unforgettable.
