Warrington Comtemporary Arts Festival 2014

My work 'Girl' has been accepted in the open art exhibition for the Warrington Arts Festival 2014.  I'm very pleased to have this piece of work accepted.  An excerpt from my artist statement for the two works that are part of the exhibition in Colorado, USA explains some of my thoughts while I work:

Her work has reflected upon themes of frustration, sadness or even indifference.  If it is indifference, it is the indifference of people.  People in their own worlds, mobile phones, today’s news forgotten tomorrow.   A source of inspiration has come from exploring a disused old railway (now Metrolink) in West Didsbury, Manchester, and its return to a previous natural state with trees and ponds thriving next to a past industrial area.  This interest in the forgotten things in life has lead to a current interest in her own past as a bystander and observer of people and about her own sense of powerlessness. 

I'm glad that my work is 'getting out there' and that I am able to express my thoughts visually.
