Remembering and observing everyday things is key to my creative process. Interweaving patterns and gestures are used to make something new. This approach yields a wide variety of imagery. I work predominantly in monotypes and collages building up my images in layers of drawing, paint, ink and cut out paper. Papers used may be found or hand-stained, printed and torn.  Carefully chosen shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks are used to produce abstract works which encompass a variety of interests.
