Artist statement

I am exploring ways that science and beauty can interact. Natural history, flowers, birds, wonders of memory and science co-exist in my celebratory paintings and drawings. Glazes of colour, thick grids of paint surround fine drawn lines and painted vignettes. My current non - commercial work is an investigation of brain imagery and memory.

I also have an interest in botanical history and imagery. New ways to view our human responses have led to many exciting developments in the world of medicine and neuroscience. At the same time, these images have meaning and have taken on almost an iconic resonance in contemporary society. My work investigates the metaphors that we attach to brain images, and through combining subjective and organic images with medical images, I seek to take anatomy that is “objective” and make it a subjective, emotive experience. In all of my work I am exploring ways that science, beauty and art can interact
