This body of work was painted entirely from the imagination with no knowledge of the outcome of each piece. Towards the final stages of these works it became shockingly obvious that these paintings were all snapshots of the sequence of a journey, a journey I had no control over consciously. The images portray the fear I felt as a child of being chased. Warning messages and associations with the legend of Little Red Riding Hood too became apparent. WOLF SOUP concludes the journey with the conquering of this fear.
“GOING IN” was recently voted the winner of the WINSOR AND NEWTON CHOICE AWARD at the Society of Womens Artists Exhibition 2008
