This depicts the idea of positive visualisation – to see, reach out and finally grasp the energy, and of having a clear path. Marrying the idea of a sketch with a painting and of three single ideas pulled together to create an overall message of strength and positivity

Insta Venus in Bronze
Dimensions: 40.5cm x 50.5cm / 16″ x 20″
Inspired by Botticelli and our current addiction to self imagine perpetuated by social media. Bronze mirrors remove imperfections, the Venus takes full advantage of this while she checks her hair, ignoring the refractions on the edge of it, and unevenness and cracks in the frame.
Against the Wind
Dimensions: 40.5cm x 50.5cm / 16″ x 20″
Painted during lockdown the tree from next door is bent over by the storm, but completely ungrounded and surreal conveying the ungrounded uncertainty of the situation
Mind Waves
Done with a pallet knife primarily, I just wanted to see where the paint would take me, without a particular plan, and this was the result- a tunnel of waves, leading to a stormy centre.
