I am a photographer, printmaker and mixed media artist.

My creative exploration started with formal training in photography. I quickly needed to push the creative envelope and sought ways to combine photography with other mediums. That exploration led me to a passion for the wonderful versatility and unpredictability of encaustic painting (hot wax, damar resin and a blow torch) where I often combined photography or other collage elements, always working in layers.

My current work generally starts with water-based media and often incorporates collage elements, including photography, digital art and paper I have handprinted or painted. My process often cycles back to my love for wax, now cold wax and oil. Still working in layers, obscuring then revealing / waxing and waning, I continue to explore the interplay of light and colour.
