"My work is influenced by the notion of ‘self’, the challenges of identity and the nature of belonging. When my surroundings change, through displacement, whether by choice or not, I respond and adapt. I work with a range of subject matter, themes and media to  convey my sense of the complexities of people, place and conflict." My work continues to be influenced by my past and my present.
