As an artist I am of the strong belief that Art is not only about the beautiful but equally has a duty to reflect and challenge and lead the discussion on issues of importance to our Society. 

​My life's experience as teacher, mother and grandmother has given me a deep concern regarding the threats and issues which threaten the lives of our children in the future. For this current series of works I am repurposing childrens' toys, deconstructing and reassembling them and am excited to discover a great potential to express and communicate  some of these issues.
