I am not an urban child filled with loud sounds and bright colours, my world is much more subdued, more rooted in the land; in the things we have thought rather than the things we have made.

All my work has explored my relationship to my world, and with what we mean by the word beauty – not prettiness, but real, hard beauty, the sort which can hurt; and that exploration has been made through the lenses of mythology and folklore, and the landscape itself. Recently I have sought to blur the distinction between the human form and others found in nature, be they organic or inorganic, trees or rocks, to remind us that all are equally beautiful and that, at the deepest level, all made of the same stuff.
