I completed a BA in Fine Art almost 40 years ago. Through the years I have continued to create art but in the background to a busy life of family and work.
The past few years have been a time of rediscovery of my own creative practice and a growing desire to develop as an artist and break out of the confines I feel I currently place on myself. My recent work has been a development of my personal search for meaning and home. Deeply rooted in my spiritual relationship with the land, to the traces of human interaction, the scars and imprints, to a sense of time and connectedness. My work involves a struggle to visually represent the landscape and my response to it in a more abstract way. I am concentrating on using locally foraged material within mosaic, exploring and discovering more about the geology of an area and connecting on a physical level with the material I am using.
I am at the beginning of a fine art MA which will allow me time to understand and develop my work in painting, drawing and mosaic. I recently attended a 5 day class in Ravenna at the Mosaic School, a week in which I was able to immerse myself in the history and language of ancient and contemporary mosaics, and which has inspired and informed my own mosaic practice.
