Pourquoi créez-vous de l'art ?
Art became a way for me to create something permanent after years of  investing my time into looking after my fairly big family. Art is the place I slow down & often get very quiet and meditative

Depuis combien de temps peignez-vous ?
I have always made art & been creative. My watercolours are also unusual in my process as they really reflect my drawing background, I almost want to call them drawings in watercolour as they are very lime and wash based

Did you have form al art training?
I had a wonderful art teacher in elementary/primary school and I believe she laid a very strong foundation for me. High School I also had the privilege of access to an art centre with really great teachers. I studied Textile Design there & believe it has influenced my work towards simplification and unusual layout. After school I sudied a degree in art, which was very conceptual. It killed art for me so I took a ten year break before returning to drawing late at night when the whole family was asleep. I had to teach myself everything I know about watercolour. Luckily I love geeking out , so am forever going deeper into it

Êtes-vous un artiste professionnel ou un amateur ?
I  am very blessed that art gas been my passion and our bread and butter for the last three years

Qui ou quoi vous inspire ?
I gather inspiration from many fields. Everyday mundane, the way light falls, ideas I read about, and lots of artists throughout history

Quel genre de musique écoutez-vous en peignant ?
I love quiet while I paint. I often also paint while supporting my children in schooling or hanging out with friends. In an ideal getting to really indulge, I would listen to classical or indie music, something gentle and human. I also love listening to podcasts while painting but sometimes the words take me out of my glow state, so I turn it off.

Avez-vous eu un mentor ?
No but I have had very pivotal moments when certain people encouraging me brought me back from the edge of giving up altogether on art

Vous peignez tous les jours ?
I wish!

Peignez-vous une toile à la fois ou travaillez-vous sur plusieurs simultanément ?
I love to juggle a few , I also find the switching between pieces help me out of a funk when it happens

Créez-vous d'abord une esquisse conceptuelle ?
No, I alter as I go but I think about it a lot, so maybe it’s just a piece in my head

Préférez-vous peindre en atelier ou en plein air ?
I was hard bent on plein air but the short flowering of my subject has definitely necessitated in studio from photographic references

Combien de couleurs principales utilisez-vous ?
Some works literally only have one, the Corals gave about 6 for subtle differences

Tubes, casseroles ou bâtonnets ?
ALL of them!

Utilisez-vous du liquide de masquage ?
I haven’t found one that works for me yet

À quel moment sait-on que son œuvre est terminée ?
I try to step away and stop earlier but sometimes I probably overwork, I get very into the details
