Distinctly abstract colour "play" is just as much a part of my art practice as more polished landscape or floral painting. The freedom to just let myself blob paint down and try new shapes and brushstrokes and compositions is complete joy to me.
New collection alert! After an intensely creative nine week period I'm thrilled to announce a new collection of paintings! It will be available from next week but in the meantime I wanted to share a sneak peek into the behind the scenes of creating a collection. Enjoy!
The three key ingredients for my work (time and ideas notwithstanding) are canvas, paint and loads and loads of brushes of all shapes and sizes. From expensive natural hog hair to cheap hardware store synthetic ... I have (and use) them all!
The abstract dynamic nature of a sky lets me play with my brushstrokes and introduce all the colours of the rainbow in whatever which way feels right. A sky seems like such a simple thing to paint and yet here I am, basically trying to touch the spirit of the universe with my brush and share it with all of you. Lucky me!
Inspiration is everywhere. For me, it starts with a moment when something that catches my attention and excites the creative spirit within me. When I feel the thrill of a new impulse, I grab it and bring it with me into the studio to put it on canvas. Colour is my wanderlust!
There is no better way to bring personality and add depth of interest to your décor than with a statement piece of art. Combine an iconic print with a standout frame and create a bit of "wow" in your home this spring!
Fine Art Prints are delicate and it’s important to minimize handling, so my packaging needs to reflect that. I've done a lot of research and experimentation to figure out how to ensure your prints arrive in pristine condition - and the result might surprise you!
I'm often asked about framing styles and whether prints should be framed with or without a mat. While I can’t claim to be a framing expert, I can share some thoughts on different framing options and a couple of examples from my own collection. I hope these help you on your way to creating the ideal presentation for your print that works best in your space!
