I paint from expression most of the time. Sometimes I envisage what I want to create first, other times I am curious to see what comes out on the canvas, it is interesting to see what my emotional landscape looks like.
I use photographic transfer, collage or stitch. Recycled canvases and unusual materials. Often there is a sparkly, reflective or iridescent element. It will catch your attention in different ways according to position and the light.
I have a range of custom positivity paintings available to buy and to order.
My first exhibition was in 2000 in the old Aldwych Tube Station in London. In 2019 I was shortlisted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. I am currently a resident artist at Bridlington Old Town Gallery, East Yorkshire.

Colourful Abstracts
I use a mixture of materials including acrylic, emulsion, paper collage, photographic transfer, ink, pen and pastel. Sometimes employing glitter, nail varnish, hair dye or make up when necessary. I paint onto canvas, sometimes recycled canvas or reclaimed blankets, roller blinds or plain conventional paper.

Minimal Monochrome
This is like the opposite of the colourful abstracts almost like the negative version of that type of painting. Painted from a meditative place on instinct using black oil paint on canvas paper. The patterns evolve bringing an element of symbolism for a clean, minimalist aesthetic.

Positivity Paintings
Using positive symbolism, memories, photographs, colour matching and semi precious stones, my commissioned canvases are designed to uplift, inspire positivity and mental and emotional wellbeing by infusing the energy in the space with love, peace and harmony or fun.
