• About My Work:
• My work is a hybrid practice that draws together the
genres of painting, sculpture and textiles.
• It is an expanded practice, but draws mostly on the
principles of painting. It is a complex, yet decorative
practice that maintains a highly feminine quality.
• It deals with identity and the idea of a feminine space
within painting
