Biography
After finishing my dance career because of a injury it was a natural thing to transform my creativity into visual arts.
In 2006 I received a certificate in art from Farbmuehle in Lucerne, Switzerland. In 2007 I immigrated to New Zealand where I continued to develop my style and art practice.
Female portraits of essence.
In my work I capture expressions, feelings, moods and mental states.
I believe our hard drive has stored thousands of these emotions throughout life.
It’s fascinating how each of us have our unique way, which is shown in facial expression, body gesture and our overall presence.
In the past I have never used images or photos of faces, most of my portraits are developed through improvisation inspired by female characters I have come across.
My large drawings, which I have named the Wirelady’s, have evolved from a long history of sketching.
I call it structured improvisation; combination of uncontrolled and controlled chaos with some identifiable characteristics.
