Artist Statement

I am an artist and illustrator exploring visual and emotional responses to locations, objects and loved ones. I create collections based around a theme or story. ‘My Mother’s Vases’ is a series of still life pieces in collage, paint and ink. They celebrate the weekly flower arrangements my mother made and displayed in her beloved collection of vases. The work aims to illustrate the joy of simple things, layered with the complexity of mixed emotions for a passed loved one who is remembered through daily use of the objects they held dear.
