Clouded Thought



In this painting i wanted to reflect that sometimes it takes alot of different thoughts, choices and actions to achieve what i wanted. Even if sometimes the path isn't always clear, it is the end result that matters.

Coloured Leaves


This painting was inspired by my scratchback "Leaves" and my love for the sunrise colours. So this is the end result of my efforts to combine them both.

Leaves


In this piece I wanted reflect my personal thought that people can move in and out of your life, like trees drops their leaves to allow for new growth.

A Mother and Her Girls


These pots reflect my life with my daughters. The large pot represents me. The pot is partially glazed as I wanted it to demonstrate the partial revelations of my life, past, present and also family histories. It's texture is rough which represents life's experiences, both good and bad. The colours are earthy, to represent the women Elders. The design on these pots are a relection of my Indigenous heritage. The two smaller pots represents my two daughters and are similar in design. They are both glazed and this was done to reflect the innocence of childhood.
