Artist Statement
I am an artist who uses storytelling as a central element within all the art-forms I create. I am inspired by stories as a basis for performance and theatre works, exhibitions & installations, environmental art, community arts projects, audio art works and audio art walks, podcasts and the interdisciplinary gathering of groups of these to create experiences which inform and engage the community in which the work is to be presented.
From a family background of storytelling, I work as a storyteller returning to the traditional stories which are connected to me and my life, family and community. In Maenad Theatre of Calgary, Canada, I worked as director, performer, playwright and collaborator developing new works for theatre – the focus of the company was to create a more balanced and healthier gender perspective in the stories being told and in the storytellers.
