LANDSCAPES (Collage Paintings)
As an Artist and an Art Therapist I believe in the truth of the
imagination. These images evoke Archetypal inner landscapes, reflecting
my exploration of inner space, its dimensions and tensions. As inner
and intimate landscapes, they reflect a sense of the immensity of the
inner world which is so often ignored in our culture. In the words of
the poet Rilke, "the world is large but in us it is deep as the sea."
My work as an artist arises from my training in art therapy where the
creative process is the focus of exploration and the product is a
reflection of the unconscious process -- modified
by conscious seeing.
These images reflect my adventure into the unknown
landscapes
of the psyche and the unexpected forms of the imagination.

Giclée Prints
The original landscapes are created in mixed media - a combination of
collage and painting that blends and blurs the boundaries of the
different mediums. In the final prints, the images become a seamless
whole, rendered in archivally stable inks on fine quality etching
paper.
