About me and my work 

Most of the work in my recent project has evolved around colour theory and perceptions of certain colours. After careful research online, in journals and in person encounters I have discovered a new way of looking into this concept of art. I have found a love for sensory art, tactile art in particular. Still looking into colour theory however, from a different take and view point. 

As an artist still developing my practice and finding my core, I have found myself attracted to many mediums and materials which I am excited to experiment with. Looking into the works of Kladek and Burtuszova, the works they produced in the 70's for special needs children has fascinated me and in a way inspired me to create the work I do. Not only out of enjoyment but, to be able to give back to the world in a creative way by making art inclusive to anyone. 

I have taken my practice on in a different way to my previous works, full of colour and brightness. My colour palette is now more muted and consists of neutral tones, I have found myself really looking into sensory issues and artworks being considered over stimulating to people with special needs or certain sensory overloads. Knowing my work can be appreciated and "seen" by anyone has helped me really enjoy making the work and develop my practice. I am working towards making more tactile art and to encourage people to pick up the art and in a way play with it, stimulate the senses. The recent series of work I have made "Hooked on a feeling" is a play on words using the song by Blue Swede and Björn Skifs, I want to entice and enrich touch within my work.

While looking into other artists I have enjoyed looking at textures and different shapes to incorporate in my pieces. I believe my core is sensory, however I look forward to see how my practice can develop further and grow, artwork should be inclusive to all wether you can see the colours or not.
