Artist Interview
What medium do you work with, and why have you chosen them?
I work with high quality acrylic paint, which allows me to explore a wide range of textures and dynamic movements in my art. I find great joy in experimenting with these elements to bring my creative vision to life.
How does your artwork get from initial concept to exhibition stage?
I begin with a carefully chosen colour palette and then let the geometric shapes (blobs) take on a life of their own, guiding the composition as they embark on their own creative journey.
Can you tell us a little more about your creative working environment/studio?
I create my art from a cosy home studio in Melbourne's inner west. She may be small, but she does the job.
