Figure From Sarahs Teapot

This figure is one where the image itself is from an old enamel teapot my partner bought from a second hand shop years and years ago. (i have included the original image in the close up photos)

It is an example of finding, in my opinion, beautiful images and inspiration from everyday objects.

Needless to say, my image turned into a half (broken?) winged figure and the red on the bottom is a reference to the teapot itself.

Portraying human emotion without the use of facial expression is the main theme of my work. Having had no formal training in art practice gives me the freedom to explore structures and techniques without having to concern myself with what is aesthetically or technically ‘correct’.

After being away from the easel for quite a few years, circumstances in 2020 have encouraged me to return to art and put my work out into the public for the first time.

There is no pre-planning or sketching that goes on before I start a painting, however the concept of starting with a real and definable image and then removing and distorting its reality is a theme I am guided by.
