“It always amazes me how simple colour and form can drive the artwork. The artist Pablo Picasso was the first artist who work I fell in love with aged 15. I have been fascinated by his use of colour and how he created three dimensional within a two dimensional medium. His use of colour was my favourite

Colour and Emotion:

The drawing below was taken from a body of work I created during my 2nd year in my Art and Media Bachelor of Arts. I was exploring the area of self portraiture and female representation within both the practical arts and academic writing. Within this body of work also explored the impact of music in drawing out emotions from my art practice. I always feel that cold colours express a clear emotional message due to the association of negative colours and negative emotions (such as crying or fear). I wanted to see how a warm colour develops the narrative of my work. I feel that the simple drawing techniques and the focus on the eyes with a long tear worked really well. It shows that my then simplistic interpretation of colour was limiting.

The artworks below compare my work and the representations of Pablo Picasso’s work:

Artwork Techniques: Testing Out New Canvases

I learnt how to make your own canvases back in 2002 during my Access Art and Media Diploma. I practiced it again in 2004, but it isn’t until recently that I have re-tried making my own canvases. The fact is there is only a certain amount if space and old paintings take up alot of space. So, I decided to try out an idea I have had for years, with A LOT…

OKK Arts, My Home For My Drawings

It was last year, sitting in the shade enjoying the summer, I started to explore ideas through drawing. This collection of drawings explored Conte pastels, graphite and ink grew and I realised that they needed a home. It was in September 2018, when I came across OKK Arts and stared to speak with the owner Jannika Okk and I found a home for them. I am so pleased…

As we have moved into 2019, I will be exhibiting in additional galleries in London, based next to the River Thames. The city has a special energy full of hustle and bustle, green spaces dotted around it with the River Thames running through it. The UK is a special country in many ways, but something I love is that we have not completely lost green spaces, despite the endless buildings, people and vehicles, with London no exception to this. It was during my time living in London where I enjoyed each little slice of nature, which is something I have incorporated into my most recent collection, showing a bird’s eye view of each part of the city and the places I found time to relax and enjoy. The designs additionally explore colour to signify the moods of the city, with each designs title reflecting my narrative. There are five designs of focus within this collection titled ’Shield In Blue’, ‘Barnes Green’, ‘Tic Tac Toe’, ‘Urban Elegance’ and ‘Birdseye of London’. ‘Shield In Blue’ is directly inspired by my view of the Houses of Parliament, with the word shield symbolizing protection, the four points depict the architectural design and the colour blue signifies the Thames River running past it. The design ‘Barnes Green’ is named after the park directly around the corner from a gallery where my work can be found. London is not just a place to work and live, I have included a playful reflection of London in the design ‘Tic Tac Toe’, which features Neon Blue Apatite and Deep Purple Amethyst. An additional aspect of recreation includes some of the world’s best restaurants, reflected in the luxurious design ‘Urban Elegance’. This piece features a high quality 1.05 carat Pink prong set Tourmaline with a Purple Sapphire and Deep Red Ruby on each side. The larger design called ‘Birdseye of London’ is a central aerial view which can be enjoyed by the constant companions of London, pigeons. The final design of focus is a ring titled ‘Arch’ which represents the architectural arch designed buildings found in Hyde Park called Marble Arch and Wellington Arch. This piece reflects the way I think of London as I believe it is a place of importance with locations such as parliament, a pivotal place in the UK. The design ‘Arch’ features significant symbolism by representing my perception that London is one area of my country offering protection, structure and beauty.

Galleries: My Guide see my own experiences and thoughts...

My motto has been since 2007… what is the worse they can say…no!?!?!?!

There are endless pages by people or even galleries who explain how to approach them. My own method has greatly changed since the year 2002. This change came from experience.

At first, I wrote a basic, poorly written artists CV and a CD of my work. It was sent to over literally 200 galleries and I received a handful of replies…
