abstract art 

for those who find calmness in repetition

and points of interest captivating

i create from intuition, the structure of my work inspired by the simplicity of piet mondrian and the complexity of gustav klimt - to me the yin and yang of modern art - both, like me, were deeply engaged with nature and symbolism. 

 

working on black as i have sensory sensitivity to white. my palette is intentionally minimalist, shifting with the seasons, yet anchored by the constant, calming presence of blue, which represents both air and water.

 

as a point of interest,  i integrate elements of traditional craftsmanship that I enjoyed in childhood. such as paper cutting, hand embroidery, weaving, mosaic, ink stamping or use of my typewriter. sometimes i utilise washi tape for an added pop of colour and pattern, and stickers to inject playfulness or symbolism. the stickers that i use are odd dot, they are images of ephemera from the victorian era which are quirky and give a nod to people's exploration of art in that period. 

 

i employ an equitable method for people to own my collection art via a prize draw.
