A new body of work in both paintings and sculptures, created during the new found life and surroundings of Portugal from yet another life from before in France, discovering, starting again, re-defining found materials and textures , a complete transformation from old to new. 

I try to depict in my work a moment when you feel the light caressing you, this moment when you experience the vibration which connects you to the living, to the Earth under the feet. It is this quest for reunification that I try to reinvent in my painting. My works express both the prism of light which fragments into a thousand pieces and at the same time unites, revealing the rawness of things.

This collection of works is based on the concept of origin and source, our internal voice appeals to our ability to discover, evolve and connect. It's about finding ways to eliminate outside noise and find a way back to ourselves.

The paintings created for A Time of Sand have profited from her staying still in her residence of southwestern France. These works are visual notes, and deep reflections of her personal journey as she observed changes in light and time, like the moving sand in an hourglass.

Wildflower, “a flower of an uncultivated variety or a flower growing freely without human intervention”. With this body of work I find a freedom of expression like a seed dispersed in a field by the wind, carried with no exact direction or path, but landing in a place where I can grow.

A trio exhibition featuring works by women artists: Heather Chontos (America - Portugal), Caroline Denervaud (Switzerland - France), Emma Larsson (Sweden).

Heads Full of Poetry, is a group exhibition co-curated by Swedish artist Emma Larsson. Emma Larsson finds inspiration from the last Avant-Garde art movement of the 20th Century called CoBrA. The selected artists have in common a sense of playfulness and poetry led by their subconscious, they were invited to surrender to the making of art as an experiment without convention nor thought processing.

The title for the exhibition, Rosengarten (Rose Garden), is in reference to the Dolomites in South Tyrol. The vast range of natural beauty represents personal transformation and change that sparked inspiration for this new body of work. “In the evening when the sun begins its descent, the light hits the quartz of the side of the mountain range and it glows pink. It is a magical effect.

Lontano, features paintings created during an Artist-in-Residency at Palazzo Monti in Brescia, Italy. As a painter, Chontos’ forms are interpretations of her surrounding environment, delicate details, vulnerable landscapes and moments of light. Through these works she inspires an intimate dialogue with the viewer.

Weightless is an exhibition exploring the sensation of removing oneself from the weight and burden of gravity, of being tethered to our lives, of freedom.

This series of works are influenced by the ancient Höjoki text, written in 1212 by the court poet turned Buddhist monk Kamo no Chomei. Chomei's exploration of the Buddhist notion of impermanence speaks directly to my experience, whilst also commenting on the cyclical movement between loss and gain, evocation of moments of both discovery and despair, sensations reflected in the contrasts found in both my sculptures and paintings.
