I have begun work on a new series of portraits based on adolescence and taking inspiration from religious iconography. More to come!Goddess # 1  oil on canvas 36x46cmGoddess # 2 oil on canvas 36x46cm

This is my latest fauve-inspired portrait.  It’s a bit of  a homage to Van Dongen –  the most amazing colourist.

Upcoming Exhibition at Sheffer Gallery

18th – 28th September 2013

Opening Saturday 21st September 4-6pm

This is my first solo show. The paintings explore themes of childhood connection with nature. My ‘child’ figures, are seen within the landscape often from behind – a nod to the Ruckenfigur of the Romantics. I am also showing some Fauve-inspired portraits which aim to capture interior/psychological thresholds.
