Artwork Description

I adore the colour red and this painting was inspired by Henri Matisse’s Red Room and also Brett Whitleys work. The scene is imagined and instead of the usual view out of a window, I wanted to add drama by having red glass as a backdrop. In some places the glass is fusing with the objects.

Artist Bio

I graduated from Lancaster University in 1992 with a degree in Visual art and London University in 1994 with a Graduate Diploma in art education. In 2002 I moved to Melbourne and joined The Beaumaris Art Group to continue my art practice in painting and teaching. In 2016 I joined Le studio in Mordialloc and have been painting and teaching from my studio here ever since. As well as exhibiting in various galleries, I have been selling my work nationally and internationally.

I am very interested in people and I love loving in a big city, so a lot of my work includes people. My work is mostly figurative, usually acrylic on canvas, and mainly set in urban landscapes. Most of my work begins with a sketch or photograph taken from life, a street scene in Melbourne, a train on a Japanese subway or an alleyway on a walk with my dog. I am constantly looking at people, buildings and trying to grab something ordinary or extra-ordinary that intrigues me. I let these images sit in my unconscious for a while to allow time to think about how I want paint that image, when I am ready to paint that image and how I would like it to ‘feel’. Light, colour and perspective are very important in my work, I subconsciously create windows and employ the use of one vanishing point to entice the viewer into the painting. My paintings are a merge of the narrative, figurative and imagination. While life goes on, I will never run out of subject matter to paint. The challenge is to paint a ‘better’ painting every single time.
