Just What Is It About Today's World That Makes It So Comfortable?

This is a Sinterix print of a painting of various images associated with the media and the way in which they use images to sell a narrative to the public.   The image is composed to replicate the variety of images one might see showing through layers of images on a billboard that has been left to the elements to wear and weather away.

Femme

This is a silkscreen net print of a model created through using screen drawing fluid, created initially on the screen in the negative format. This allows the image to be printed in the positive, therefore avoiding using screen block.
This has allowed for a 'noir style' printmaking method of the model printed in black acrylic paint through a net screen.

Mr Guitar Man

Pink Petrus

This woodcut print is inspired by soil samples grown in agar in a petri dish. Samples of soil were collected during a walk around the countryside of Somerset, each sample representing one mile walked. The grown fungi in the petri dishes represent an alternative mile marker, which were then translated into woodcut prints creating an alternative landscape art.

Shaman

A monotype print of a Shaman layered on top of a colourscape inspired by Rothko. This print was created through a process of layering monoprint colour plates, pressed through an etching press.

Longrun Lake

This image is of Longrun Lake in Taunton, Somerset. The image was sketched as a lithograph in-situ and worked on back in the studio.

Girl with the Pink Jar

This painting explores the image of a child worker from an old photograph circa late C19th to early C20th. I was drawn to the image through my current research on Lost Generations including the era of slavery, child working and indentured servitude in regards to the UK and Somerset. This is research exploring the role of the South West and the families who owned plantations in Jamaica and Virginia, growing tobacco and sugar.

Layered Journeys in Troubled Times

This small oil painting is composed of layered journeys taken around Somerset, Spain, Cyprus and from a variety of paintings from past Masters and Mistresses of painting.

The painting explores the varied journeys a person takes, recording their journey through life as paintings/ documents/ memory - here I have brought the many together, forming a painting that encompasses the fractured experience, seeking solace in the landscape to reform and bring composure.

Venus

This is a study of a model as Venus. The oil painting explores a strong black woman, standing in a position of power, confronting the viewer rather than averting her gaze towards some imaginary left or right middle distance.

The style is inspired by Delacroix's loose, quick brush strokes and dabs of paint.
