Cushla is a New Zealand expressionist painter living in Motueka, in the Nelson area. Her paintings are an expression of her life and her spirituality. Life events and Cushla's surroundings stir up feelings which she portrays with paint - working through the process until she feels satisfied and at peace with each one. Her work is seldom planned as it is the colours that draw her on until a painting is completed and the finished work has emerged from her subconscious mind.
Life inspires Cushla to paint. By using colour, shape and form she is able to say things, often is a symbolic way, that she finds difficult to express in words. She is constantly challenging herself to try new things and to extend her artistic experience.
