Artist's Statement
A lifetime of influences and inspirations has led me "to do what I do"-
watercolour, draw, garden and work with fibres. As a teenager working
the soil in what was known as my Grandmother's garden I became
intrigued by plants and their histories. I was observing the
interactions between man and nature and intricate designs in flower
parts and recording them in pen and pencil and paint. At the same time In "my space" subject matter abounds - I take my cues from my surroundings. Every year for my In A Garden show (held on my property in my studio and garden) I create a series that relates in some way to the garden. |
