What is your artist background? I went to the Victoria College of Art from
1994-1996. My husband David is also an artist and has been a huge influence
on me.
How do you describe your work? semi-abstract, colourful, playful
Who are the living artists you find more interesting? Helen Frankenthaler
Who are the no longer living artists you find most interesting? Whistler,
Matisse, Monet, Bonnard, Chagall, Group of Seven, Emily Carr, Gustav Klimt,
Mondrian (his flowers), Van Gogh, Odilon Redon, Arthur Rackham, N.C. Wyeth
Should art have a social/political message? It can, but I think art purely
as an expression of beauty or any number of other things is also valid. I
think whatever the message is, the piece of art has to first work in an
abstract way in terms of colour, composition, etc in order to be an
effective vehicle for what you want to express.
Why do you do art? I feel driven to it. It’s a huge part of how I look at
world and process/interpret the experience of being human.
