About Me
I am 42 years old.
I am an artist/designer.
I live in Adelaide, South Australia and I have 2 dogs.
I live in a large installation piece called "Organised Clutter, with decorative elements".
I am inspired by the world around me, and often see things other people don't even notice. Socially, I tend to be oblivious to the bleeding obvious.
I am an idealist and a perfectionist, which means I tend to be depressed a lot.
I have been known to photograph my supper, simply because I liked the colours, or salvage a crushed rusty bottletop because it looked like an old fashioned wax seal.
I did a couple of years of formal art study, but the thought of having to do more bloody essays (even though I am very good at them) put me off pursuing further studies.
In painting I have been described as having a very painterly style, as I am not afraid to experiment to get the effect I am after, using sticks, sponges, leaves, my nails…anything.
Ceramics I love, but am not very good at, although I was getting the hang of the potters wheel towards the end. My "slump" set was one of a kind, but I really most enjoy just playing with clay to see what comes out.
Much of my work is experimental "what can I make from this" sort of stuff. I love to recycle common waste items into my art. Phoenix had plastic shopping bags, coathangers and little plastic tags from breadbags as the main decorative elements.
I can knit, crochet, macrame, weave, plait, do calligraphy, leatherwork, tiling, and make my own charcoal. I dabble in digital, enjoy paper mache, and delight in being different.
