A long winding road has led me, joyously, back to art making. I love translating feelings, personal imaginings and perceptions into physically contrived and emotionally evocative works of art to which viewers then add their layers of experience and interpretation. I love the action, the messes, smells, physical efforting and spiritual connectedness that comes with the creative process. I am grateful for the gifts of spontaneity, inspiration, synchronicity and exasperation or delights that partner with the materials as I playfully explore possibilities.   Locke Home
