Artist Statement:
My studio is at Home… My studio is my Home.

I spend every moment that I can in there, but I do love the quiet of the night when most other people are sleeping. I am surrounded by white walls covered in pinned up images, written words, paint smudges and airbrushed test swirls. I collect images, some from glossy magazines, books, old comics and specifically taken photographs. These are my inspiration. They are collected physically and in folders on my computer. I dig through these boxes and folders when I am searching for an idea and then collage a number of images and ideas together.

I listen to 774 ABC radio and love listening to conversations. I will often write down these overheard words or song lyrics on my walls, if they are poignant, for later use somehow. The space becomes cluttered whilst I am working on an artwork and then I go through a cathartic clean up and start fresh again on the next piece. The journey to and from my studio is also important. More radio whilst I am driving or stuck in peak hour traffic, many ideas come to me as I sit inside my visual bubble - my car. When I leave I am longing to get back and unpack the newfound or revisited ideas of the day.
