Me the Artist

 I'm a mixed-media artist and most enjoy creating 3D forms from stone and wood. I often enliven and repurpose found or rejected objects, and I strive to make sculptures that reveal good craft while showcasing the wonders of nature.

artworks

Inspired by

"It is while carving stone that you discover the spirit of your material and the properties peculiar to it. 

Your hand thinks and follows the thoughts of the material"  Constantin Brancusi


Known for my stone 'Women'; yet, that's not all I make. 

See my landscape page for my art outdoors..

women series

My 'Women' series aims to express the fundamental, earthly beauty and diversity of womanly shape. The works are united in exploring the torso, yet differ in size, shape, colour, and perceived imperfection. My message:

You're beautiful, however you're made. Appreciate what you see in the mirror, celebrate your uniqueness. Every bit of it.

Brought to life using personally-selected stones worked exclusively by hand, every piece is created with someone in mind, if only for a brief moment. The forms are intended to feel real and familiar, with recognisable shape, a womanly carriage, perhaps like someone you know, cherish, & love.

other 3D works

I'm moving toward landscape art intended for outdoor installation, invited to converse with nature, and to even return to it. Past works are also shown, including exhibited works and several produced for my 2011 stint at art school. My works are in private collections in several countries.

Sculptures

'Untitled' 2025, CH.

Soapstone, (likely) India.

    sculptures progression

    Beginning.

    To see if I could. 

    Stone waste-pile mined for 'big' pieces to construct a form without mortar. Natural materials are never rubbish.

      'Naturally' exhibition, Sept 2022, Unteraegeri, CH.

      Rainy day walk thru my 2022 'Naturally: An exhibition of artworks inspired by nature's gifts' held at the lakeside gallery Haus am See in Unteraegeri. Revealing my creative shift to landscape interactions and repurposing found objects, with an aim to question what's nature and/or nurture. The greatest fortune of my art-making is the intimacy I have with the natural materials stone and wood, and nature herself. We have deeply honest conversation that's a privilege.

      'Women' pop-up exhibition, 2020, Rotterdam, NL.

      Twelve of my 'Women' series were shown together for the first time in a pop-up exhibition in a vacant shop on the very funky Nieuwe Binnenweg in Rotterdam, NL. Needing a Covid-pivot or two around imposed lockdowns & my big birthday celebration, I was pleased with the self-curated space, & humbled by the interest of visitors when sharing the individual, at times personal, stories of the making of each form. 

      2020 brought many challenges, but also triumph.

      'Untitled', 2020, NL.

      I created this water feature for my small inner city garden in Rotterdam, NL. Materials were sourced from the building site as found objects or remnants of construction. I combined the work with hard landscaping features to add height and sensorial interest to the garden designed by Floor & Victor, and planted by me. The character of rusting metal, flowing water, and seasonal plantings, all changing with time and conditions, was wonderful.

      between junctions, 2011, au

      'Between Junctions', a sculpture & performance work responding to the brief, 'self'; references the thoracic spine, between the neck & back junctions.

      The work's title points to my own junction & pondering next steps.

      Perhaps a new journey was to begin?

      Comprised of 12 vertebra and intervening discs, increasing in size from top to bottom. 

      All found materials, wood scaled to vertebra size, electrical wiring depicting cord & nerves, and cable ties as bony processes. 

      Steel as 'backbone'.

      Exhibited in our group student show, the work was later sold.

      Deconstructed installation referring to the performance piece.

      Outside the square, 2011, au

      Using 25 hand-pressed, moulded, fired clay pieces, suspended by copper wire with adjustable aluminium fixing, to a steel frame with square base & top.

      'Outside the Square' nods to my character, the odd combination of materials & form, & my inspiration, Leonardo's 'Last Supper' & the vanishing point.

      Selected in an open call for a popular local art show.
