The process of working with resin intrigues me because of the precise need for measurement when mixing the resin and the limited application time involved with each piece. I feel a certain stress because of the time before the resin begins to set. But this leads to an excitement to see how the resin takes shape and flows on it’s own before curing. I love the freedom to experiment with colour, line, crystal, stone, glass, gold-leaf, glitter, and basically anything I choose to mix into the sticky medium. The final result, a shiny, sparkly, treasure to the eye. This work allows me to live in the moment and provides both an anchor and escape. After the loss of my son in 2015 I felt a powerful pull to return to art so I had resigned from my job. Making art stirs my soul and makes me feel a spark of life. I am so grateful to have found my way back.
