As an artist I’m drawn to the world between worlds. I seek to delve into the realm between being awake and dreaming, this magical dreamlike state just before the rising of a new day. It is my intention to create an atmosphere of mystery and magic in my paintings, finding new depths and truth beyond the known world, discovering a world of my own - dreamscapes and landscapes of the soul.
Having grown up as a farm girl in the middle of Europe, close to the earth and in rhythm with its seasons, the stillness, wildness, the healing essence of the natural world around me is a theme I love to explore. My art work is personal, forged from childhood memories, emotions, experiences of pain, loss and growth and a deep connection to nature and its beauty.
