Personal statement: "Each technique has its own potential. I choose Batik and Wax Resistant Techniques, because it combines my love and affinity for paint, colour, textiles and paper, constantly trying to explore new possibilities."
"I have always been interested in the images which arise naturally from decay: for instance torn posters, rusting doors and the shapes and patterns of dilapidated buildings. Collage is an important element in my work. It is a great way to deal with shapes. I like it as a free medium to use. The fact that shapes can be moved around gives the image a better chance to develop without being forced."
