My practice is a celebration of spirit – yours, mine, the worlds. We are extraordinary beings living in this extraordinary world. A world with infinite possibilities, where every cell is pulsating with its unique rhythm of life.  Hate and greed and fear have been too loud for too long.  It’s time for LOVE to be LOUD. The questions I'm asking within my practice are; How can I put more love and hope and joy into the world and into my world? How do I make expansive and inclusive work that allow room for every body?

​

It is with joy and playfulness that I approach my practice.  I bring a reverent irreverence to all my creations whether they be a loud cacophonous or quiet and meditative. These moments of celebration are a time to connect with our selves, to listen, a space to replenish, nourish and refill our spirit.  A moment of joy and connection with ourselves and the world.

​

Spirit is not about perfection.  Our power is in our ability to celebrate our imperfections. Our power is in embracing the mess, the chaos, the non-conformity. It is in celebrating contradictions and oddities.  It’s in recognising we are each unique beings, and that our quirkiness and individuality is what makes our spirit shine.

Wishing you a life filled with exuberance.
