“I draw for the love of drawing, not for a reason.”     

Through a use of technical and expressive methods, my practice deals with the cultural construction of the body. By combining print making techniques with intuitive mark-making, I aim to re-configure ways in which the female form can be consumed viscerally. Incorporating found imagery with projective painting and drawing methods allows me to renegotiate the body’s […]
