Ever optimistic, ever hopeful, looking for life's next big adventure.Keen on trying new things and believes that if you can learn a new fact every day then you could be on the right track.I consider myself to be friendly and approachable and I firmly believe that kindness is a strength and not a weakness, enjoys helping others, is a good listener with a fun sense of humour, very easy going, but can be blunt on occasions and tries to be a better person, most days.Artists StatementI have always enjoyed scavenging for treasure amongst the rubbish left out for the bin men and then finding interesting ways of using it, a length of bubble wrap may become a piece of streaky bacon, once primed and painted.Often my work holds a hidden meaning behind it, whether it is social, political, menopausal or about physical disability, mental health or abuse.I almost always try to add a touch of humour to the piece in order to lift it, sometimes giving it a nod towards pop art.I use a wide range of materials for my oversized 2D&3D Sculptures, such as bubble wrap, cardboard, corrugated card, material remnants, acrylic paint and black fine line markers, anything really as long as it takes my fancy.As well as painting and drawing, I also produce polytile prints and photographs in relation to my chosen theme, I also try incorporate my love of nature and natural history into some of my work, recycling is the key to my practice.
