Gallery
I first exhibited work in which toys were an integral part in 2001. I exhibited and toured this series of work under the title 'Small Voices.' In this body of work I explored, visually, the un-heard voices of the exploited and abused.
Small Voices (2001)
 
"The Freefall series of paintings are based upon a series of woodcut prints, 'Small flower series', by the 19th century Japanese artists, Katsushika Hokusai. The small bird/s from the original prints have been replaced by a hybrid bird-doll of my own. There are nine paintings in the series."
Freefall Series (2006)
Artist Statement

"I am a mixed media artist. I work with a variety of mass-produced and 'found' objects including fabrics and toys. I use toys as a metaphor for the consumerist society I find myself in."
