Both in my earlier watercolours, and now in my acrylic canvases, I work with non- traditional techniques of pouring paint, reworking scrubbed surfaces, and incorporating collage. Words have always been important to me, so random words and phrases show up in the paintings. The underpainting, abrasion, and layering of the surface have to do with giving new life to old things and using random bits and pieces to create a new cohesive whole.

The women of Barbados, where my family has had a home for more than three decades, continue to inspire me. As artist, and as 'almost Bajan', I am an observer and a witness— I am constantly on the look-out for people who 'speak' to me, for the look or gesture which prods me to hang on to that moment, their moment, in paint. Perhaps it is that I recognize myself in them.
