As I prepare for my first solo exhibition, I realised I needed a place to explore in, to retreat to, and to basically get away with talking to myself.... and here it is! The theme of this exhibition is.... ta dum.... "It's Personal". It is the moment I have chosen to stop and feel, and to provide a space for my visual voice.


I find myself taking on the role of commentator of my own life's path. My art, my words, my poetry, my images are purely a personal commentary. Nothing more. Nothing less. I do not write to judge or to provide an opinion. That is for much wiser people than I. I 'do' simply to record, to share.... in short... to commentate..... to chronicle my journey, and it's personal.


So let's just start somewhere... and see where it goes....

I have grouped the various areas of my work into chapters. To follow the whole story of one area click on the green chapter to the right under the heading "chapters of my story".

I always struggle with this bit... the 'about me' bit. I never know what order to put things down in. I am many things at many times... oh the joys of motherhood where multi-tasking is a prerequisite!. Ok, so here goes, at any one time I can be: Mother, Wife and Lover, Artist, Company Director, Student, Chief Cook and Bottle Washer, Thinker, Seeker, Procrastinator, Dreamer, Philosopher, Supporter, Friend, Guide, and sometimes just a downright bewildered child trying to find my way through the noise and chaos that is life and people.

I am creating some spaces within this blog so that I can come back to them and keep the continuity of the surrogacy work going. I prefer to have all the surrogacy work in one place, and this seems like an efficient way of doing it.

Some of the themes I wish to explore in the future are about the IP - Surro relationship. There are such a variety or expectations on both sides, and sometimes it doesn't always work the way one expects. Sometimes it is better, and sometimes is isn't.

Work and title to come.
