Artist Statement
My professional background in movement improvisation is my creative foundation. Over the course of decades, my body has naturally become my most important tool for self expression. In the last 5 years especially, instead of separating my painting and my dance practice, I have shifted to using my entire body as the paint brush. In doing so, I create transformational experiences and powerful visual expressions. With strong presence and intention, I place my body in direct contact with the paint and wood/canvas to access a more intuitive, visual acuity in my outputs. By initiating a fluid conversation between the body, the paint, and the canvas, I am able to express myself through a deep, enlightened connection to the core of my creativity. Nothing impedes my artistic voice reaching the canvas directly and instinctively. As a result of abandoning brushes and embracing my deep kinaesthetic knowledge, my visual art has gained a pulse, a rhythm, and a wisdom -- my body’s language is truly kinetic and an expression of life's dynamic movements.
I am a performance artist. I am a master improviser.
I am a poet with words and body. I create paintings with my body and my soul.
I use emotions to tell my story, her story, our story. I honour my femininity.
I believe in presence. I trust spontaneity. I am becoming.
