My Artist’s Statement

My arts practice is a constant search for, and immersion in, ‘flow’ through art, fabric, and song. I find when I am in the creative state, a deep and nourishing mental space opens where I am full of contemplation, wholly engaged with the task at hand. A productive sense of wellbeing and intensity holds me, and I am caught in the flow of the creative moment. I am extremely grateful for this access into timeless moments, through my plant study in the wild and my studio printmaking and microscope drawing explorations.

As an activist/artist my artwork and fabric design are driven by my desire to educate about Tasmania’s biodiversity, rich environmental values, unique and threatened species, and its botanical history. I advocate for protection of Tasmania’s wild and endangered flora and telling of the stories which accompany them. lutruwita is the landscape that supports my art.

When out walking, I tune my eye for the plant that I am studying, scanning, choosing. Suddenly another form catches my eye and I look down and through layer on layer of diversity to the ferns and orchids a few inches high. Macro to micro is a deeply fulfilling and mesmerising ‘flow’ zone.
