I love colour. My art has always been personal narrative, and colourful. I am influenced by African designs and motifs, the repetitive patterns of Escher, and the eccentricity of Yayoi Kusama. I use colour to enhance some of my whimsical imagery of animals and sea life and emphasize and exaggerate the narrative of my figurative and portrait work. There was a theory presented in feminist research in the seventies, that female artists used repetitive imagery in their artwork as a result of their repetitive daily life, as a domestic. Perhaps I am stuck in this construct, or maybe I just like patterns.
