KEEPSAKE I (2008)

Mezzotint 75x90mm, from an edition of 15

Fresh to Glasgow I faced a creative block of what to do next....I collect brooches from my travels and have been gifted many by friends and family. I was feeling homesick one day and decided to draw a selection of brooches given to me by the people I missed - the Keepsake series began. 'Keepsake I' is my favourite and based on a beautiful brooch my mother gave me. It has become more poignant because I lost it.....some lucky person in Glasgow is probably wearing it around town as I write this.....The fine metal detail has become a recurring design in my work so all was not lost.

Hello, I am a print artist based in New Zealand. I prefer to work in Mezzotint, a time consuming but highly rewarding process. My work is largely influenced by folklore and illustrated books from my childhood. My late grandmother was also an inspirational figure as she told me fairytales that have remained deep in my psyche and instigated a need to vocalise with imagery issues important to me. These images characterise some of the myriad emotions that make us human.
