“Much of my art making, art therapy work, and research has focused on the idea of connection. Connecting with ourselves, each other and the environment/natural world is vital to our mental and physical well-being.

How can or how do we connect to the landscape, ourselves and each other through art and exploration of the natural world? In a transient world, how do we connect with place? I have lived in and explored many small communities where this connection with each other and the natural world is much stronger. My work looks at how these connections shape us as individuals and societies and our sense of “belonging”.

I use my artmaking practice as a meditative process to slow down, take notice and deeply observe the world around me. The immediacy of watercolour and ink as mediums suit my practice and process.”
