Leopard Squared

A sleek leopard prowls with quiet intensity, its muscular body poised in mid-stride. It's whole body radiating stealth, power, and primal elegance. In stark contrast with a background of vivid blocks of ochre, cobalt blue, burnt orange, dark green, cream and charcoal black, mimicing all the colours in it's fur. These sharp lines and intersecting shapes creating a sense of movement and tension that mirrors the leopard’s predatory grace. A striking fusion of wild realism and abstract geometry, the composition captures the untamed spirit of nature through the bold, expressive language of cubist art.
I loved creating this piece of artwork and would like to thank the talented John Cameron for his permission to use his outstanding photograph as a reference.

For me, drawing is nurturing, empowering and a therapeutic escape from the daunting realities of life. From picking up the pencil as a young girl, to escaping into my art in the present, it has become wholeheartedly ingrained in me and part of who I am. I introduce myself as a Representational Artist. While the end result of my creating may seem like realism, it is in fact just a representation of what I have perceived as real.

I have gathered my skills from constant practice, engaging with other artists and experimenting with various techniques. Throughout the years I've discovered my love for the detail I can create using pencils, whether it's coloured, pastel, graphite or charcoal. Pencils allow me to take control of what emerges from my blank surface. Creating an animal or landscape that comes to life is mesmerising, I crave to see what textures, shadows, forms, lines and tones will merge together to create a life-like piece of art. I love hearing from my clients that my art has transported them into the eyes of the subject or they have found peace and happiness just by seeing the work on their wall.
