NEW account for me - previously sold over 300 pieces on Bluethumb
Welcome to my world of texture, thick lashings of paint, ink, impasto, and portraiture. My figurative pieces boldly merge the contemporary with traditional artisinal techniques.
Created with a variety of methods, each piece aims to effortlessly and almost irreverently toss together the past and present... my goal is to create something I haven't seen before, conjuring feelings of escapism & freedom.
Born in Windsor & raised in central west NSW (Lithgow), I’m half Polish and my husband is Nigerian. This cultural mix has encouraged an adoration and constant exploration into various methods of ‘making’ … the creation of handicrafts & fascination with tactile embellishment, as well as bold energetic works to capture movement in effortless, strong markings.
Now living in Tamworth, I work from my studio creating new pieces every day - experimenting with texture, shape, and materials.
