© Manic Endings (2020), Mixed media on canvas, 20″ x 20″/ 51cm x 51cm

This one came about through conversations with a friend through the dark times in lockdown. We both wanted it to come to an end and to find out what was on the other side. I knew I wanted to work with a vivid combination of blue and pink, as they are my go-to happy colours.Continue reading “© Manic Endings (2020), Mixed media on canvas, 20″ x 20″/ 51cm x 51cm”

©️Seafoam Rush (2021), Mixed media on canvas, 16″x 20″ / 41cm x 51cm

I created this piece with the flow of waves in mind and I envisioned the tide coming in with a frothy shoreline. I wanted to create a painting with more a masculine composition. The reclaimed canvas with the seascape colours and energy emanate the pressure to act against climate change. I have used silver leafContinue reading “©️Seafoam Rush (2021), Mixed media on canvas, 16″x 20″ / 41cm x 51cm”

©️ Island Hue (2020), Mixed media on canvas, 10″ x 24.5″ / 25cm x 62cm

I tend to reuse canvases to help the planet. When i first got this one it was second hand but then i created a fishtail fashion design on it with texture paste and various mark making, then it changed again and was a design made using an actual fresh lily which i used to sprayContinue reading “©️ Island Hue (2020), Mixed media on canvas, 10″ x 24.5″ / 25cm x 62cm”

©️Golden Tropics (2020), Mixed media on canvas, 10″x 10″ / 25cm x 25cm

Whilst sitting more comfortably with the colour orange, and still in a holiday daydream craving heat, i created this beauty. It warms up any space and has a new energy despite the repetitive island theme. Although my work is never created in a deliberate representational way, the pink ink drops reminded me of flamingos drinkingContinue reading “©️Golden Tropics (2020), Mixed media on canvas, 10″x 10″ / 25cm x 25cm”

©️Tropical Hues (2020), Mixed Media on canvas, 10″x 10″ / 25cm x 25cm

This piece contains a real mish-mash of colours with gold accents, in a bid to push my collection into a brighter direction using orange and green, as well as the usual blues and pinks. When close up you can see lots of layers and experimental marks. From a distance, it can give a sitting room,Continue reading “©️Tropical Hues (2020), Mixed Media on canvas, 10″x 10″ / 25cm x 25cm”

This one was created in lockdown 2020 whilst wishing i could travel to a hot country and sit on a tropical island sipping cocktails and feeling the heat of the sun seep into my bones. I really miss that warmth and freedom! But don’t we all! The theme of freedom and travel went through toContinue reading “©️Tropical Trance In Lockdown (2020), Mixed Media On Canvas, 10″x 10″/ 25cm x 25cm”

This piece is my favourite and one of the first that i created. It started on a day during lockdown 2020 when life was heavy and i wanted to send it in a new direction. I also knew i wanted to work on a bigger piece and just let loose with it. It started aContinue reading “©️Transient ebbs & flows (2020), Mixed media on canvas, 30” x 30”/76cm x 76cm/”
