Artwork Description

This canvas has had many lives. I almost gave up on it. I struggled to receive and generate any images I was comfortable with.
I tried thick paint, thin washes, turning it upside down and even applying a medium that crackles the surface.
Finally an image came through that I was kind of happy with however I started to paint over the head when I noticed it was looking like a head piece...
What was cool about that was we were watching a Danish TV series that evolved around a mythical entity called the Hare King.. so I acknowledged that my subconscious was ruling on this painting and there it is.

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.
