West’s sculptures, wall hangings and paintings all share her signature style of a joyful humour towards life, and a perceptive sensitivity towards human nature. Her sweetly stylised pieces each illustrate a phrase or pun - such as ‘Pushing the envelope’ which features a man pushing an envelope, or ‘Gone with the wind’ which features an umbrella being blown inside out.

The works also often feature the artist’s little star or little bird motifs, which can play a part in the allegory of the piece, or simply decorate it.

West was born in New Zealand in 1949 but has lived in Australia since childhood. She has a master in Fine Art from QUT and works as an interior decorator.
