2006 Finalist, Celeste Art Prize, 2006 (winner yet to be announced)
Her paintings use the landscape to trigger memories and associations. They aim to celebrate her concern and love for the landscape. For her, placing modernist architecture in the landscape becomes a way of re-inventing the Landscape Tradition, infusing it with a new momentum, re-claiming what has been discarded. She is also interested in impossible views, in exploring perspective through the use of changing viewpoints. The result of this play in perspective is an image which at first seems real and believable, and then throws the viewer into a giddy confusion causing them to question the impossible views they see before them that has been invaded by the straight edges of modernist buildings which contrast strongly with the era of landscape they are set within
