My creative practice grows out of the domestic conditions, rituals and materials I interact with each day.

Seahorse
PROCESS:I saved the base painting I used for Seahorse, as well as the painting I used for Savanna, in a roll for 10 years. They were made by my children and me, huddled around an easel in our kitchen so many years ago. They’ve been stored under my bed, in my closet, in the attic, moved from storage location to storage location as time passed. I couldn’t throw them away, but it wasn’t until I started reworking them in January 2026 that I had a clear plan for them.
It’s been very tender to revisit this roll - or timecapsule - and discover gestures, texture and imagery to build on the energy and expression embodied here, and once, in the small hands that made them.
