ARTISTS STATEMENT
Having experienced drought, fire and floods while living in regional areas has forged
a deep connection to the raw and often harsh beauty and cycles of the Australian
bush and the fauna and flora that create this beautiful place we call home.
My work is a response to the bush environment, observations of colours, forms and
patterns that underpin her exploration of themes in her work. My intent is to evoke
memories and the sense of a place and time and how we can respond and
harmonise our human existence with the natural world.
Through my work, I hope to inspire others to more deeply explore their local
environment and to become invested in the health of its complex ecosystems and
how with knowledge and awareness we can minimise the destruction and focus on
the preservation of our flora and fauna.
