Some snapshots of my latest works...

I am a painter, I mainly paint with oils adding detail with either ink or metallic paints because, I feel, that it gives the piece a more intense level of textures.

I worked alot with faces and portraits last year, which has now developed into figurative pieces deforming into movements of paint representing the bodies movements - for example, people dancing or swishing their arms during walking. I love working with the swishing motion because I can make such expressive marks responding to that.

I have a few different sized pieces in this exhibition, just to show a variety but I have used mainly the colour brown in all - I think because it is just such a warm and deep colour, which I would like to investigate further within my work and perhaps incorporate other colours like warm reds and cold reds too see the different impacts they have.

#1 and #2.

(small pieces mounted and ready to go, except drying, for my exhibition tomorrow!)

I continued some further experimentations in oil paint with

warm browns and my new metalic paints focusing on

movements of the figure/disfure...

Some collage experiments on A5 with oils. I intend to do ALOT of these...

A piece I may/may not add a magazine feature too?

The bit of paper that soaked up my painting as I went along, pretty cool leftovers!

My weekend studio aka my desk :)

Development of "the kiss" - stereotypical? cliche? romance?

"The kiss"

Decaying love? .....

Decaying flowers (interested in the shapes they cause as the wither and die.)

Water colour figures, in progress...

Some ink paintings continuing with the idea of the figure, and it's movements creating strange/deformed shapes. As well as the idea of using patterns in my work.
