“My work aims to define an illusory truth about women’s lives; from the secret games of childhood, through the inherent challenges of coming of age… when innocence is awakening to experience during adolescence, and on into adulthood’s twin female attributes; sensitivity and power. The animal companions to the girls in the Guardian series function symbolically as avatars and are a reference to the psychologically mysterious and wild aspects of female nature. There is a certain honesty and power when instinctive nature is ascendant and its raw emotions and untapped desires are on the surface.
