Biography:
Degree in illustration 1981. A number of years spent trying out different types of work including being a houseparent in a childrens home, eventually training and becoming an art teacher in secondary schools. While living in Wales and bringing up own children during the 1990's returned to own practice. Achieved an MA in Fine art from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2004.
I paint the human body, using oil paints. My figures are striped of the accoutrements of materialism and culture.
The ego is ultimately derived from bodily sensations, chiefly from those springing from the surface of the body. It may thus be regarded as a mental projection of the surface of the body,
. Freud.
The paint plays out the creation and illusion of surface, and shares the fallacy and metaphor with the depiction of the body. The painted veils of skin, the psychic negotiation of the human ego.
Artist's Location: Wilmslow, Cheshire.

Thanks for message.
I think your paintings are fabulous (seriously).
Do you want to paint me in the nude? (not seriously).
Yes, we should meet again.

Hi there Heather,
I'm sooooo glad I stopped by today (03/12/05) to see your (Cheshire) Open Studio.
You made me very welcome and it was fantastic to view your paintings. They are fantastic!!
I bet if we'd have carried on chatting, we'd have even more things in common than the topics we covered today!! (I too use to be a Houseparent years ago at the Royal Schools for the Deaf!!)
I'd love to keep in touch with you. It was lovely to meet your son and friend Norman too!!
Hope the dinner party goes well tonight!! :-D
Take care and continue with your masterpieces!!
Regards,
Lindi :-)
