AS ABOVE SO BELOW

Paintings are things made by people who enjoy, slander, renounce and rejoice in them.

Nature is an idea which we are within and without, a thing which we enrich and destroy, evolve and mutilate.

As a child all I wanted to be was a woman. Now all I want is peace and quiet. Femininity is something which is inherited, natural, structured, subjective, taught, conscripted, punished, celebrated, held to high regard, and beaten.

As an artist I wish to make love, make mess and make more. As a guide on the side and never the sage on a stage.

Be a sleepy daisy or a posey rosey and share your wealth at the picnic! ;)
