Paulette Hayes

"The essence of my art is the human condition," says Paulette Hayes. "It is designed to appeal to both the heart

and the mind, and is inspired by my internal and external worlds. Subjects explored may reference the cycle of birth

and death, memories, women’s roles and issues, the environment both macro and micro, social justice and politics.

"When developing an idea, I ask myself “how I can tell this story?”

What materials, what techniques, what colours and what textures will enable me to express

an emotion or an idea to convey what I want to say. I  work predominantly with mixed media as part of my story telling

– clay, paper, metal, fabric; they all have their own narrative to tell – and much time is spent finding a balance

between conceptual art and over-simplified work requiring no input from the viewer."
