About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorOk, Hello, I am an artist, you can view my work by clicking, 'PICS'. I live in Australia and studied as a printmaker. I believe in the ability of an artwork to speak with its own voice, to seperate from its maker and become a new story for somebody else.
There has been the ability and need to create since before I can remember. I presently draw, and paint. I enjoy most art mediums, experimenting and creating texture.

Thanks for stopping by!

"On the day when it will be possible for women to love not in her weakness but in her strenght, not to escape herself but to find herself, not to abase herself but to assert herself - on that day love will become for her, as for man, a source of life and not of mortal danger." by Simone De Beauvoir (1908 - 1986)
