Painting provides fertile ground for exploring the experiences and challenges of life as a woman today. In a socio-political climate where systemic abuse of women is finally coming to the foreground of public discourse, I seek to expose the fraught relationships of my past by visualising their emotional and physical impacts in paint.
With my young daughter Bea Bea acting as muse and model, I present unhealthy relationships as the subtext, my concern for the lost innocence of the emerging generation and the increasingly uncertain future they will inherit.
