Artist Statement
As a painter, I explore themes of spirituality and motherhood through use of sacred geometric patterns and biomorphic shapes. My process is deeply meditative, embracing the calming rhythm of drafting patterns using grids and interlocking circles. The symbols I create within these patterns are influenced by Christian and Wiccan traditions. I choose them carefully to add to the overall concept of a painting while providing a foundation that creates visual harmony with my more organic imagery. The transparency of oil paint allows me to build depth and capture the passage of time. I include recurring motifs - such as the moon, flora, and color palettes inspired by my memories and experiences. My work serves as part of my spiritual practice rooted in Nature and celebrating my role as Creatrix - the Female creator.
