Colourful splashes of violet in eye catching contrast with bold yellows and lime greens. The addition of neutral black, white and grey combine to make for a highly original, vibrant feast for the eyes.

Uplifting vibrancy and stunning colours come to life in my inspiring artworks that are infused with joy and wow. Dive into the eye-catching, bold optimism for total colour overload and a vivid jolt of maximalist pattern.

THE FRAGMENTED COLLECTION
A series of vibrant fragmented paintings that abound with colour and pattern.

THE PROCESS
Like hiding secrets in plain sight.
This work uses collage techniques to fragment and combine a number of different paintings. These paintings are pure, unsupported paint and are the result of developments in my studio over a number of years. I create the paintings on surfaces which allow for their subsequent removal. It is a lengthy process but one that enables me to satisfy my innate urge to chop things up and put them back together again. It also gives me the freedom to choose which side of the resulting fragments to show. Ultimately, this means that in each work you are seeing the usually visible layered and arranged with the usually hidden underside.

THE BACK STORY
This is my largest collection and one which I return to again and again. Inspiration for individual works is often from Nature or from Mythology, yet, those initial inspirations play out in impressions, like fleeting thoughts or memories, and they always begin with a colour. I have moved countries multiple times and these relocations have had an indirect impact on the way I see the world, in fragments rather than as a solid whole. I think of my paintings as glimpses into various experiences, either real or imagined. From a distance these paintings are bold, striking and full of colourful wow, but close up, they reveal many hidden patterns. There will always be something new to see.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
Born in the UK and settling in Australia in 2005 after 12 international moves in 17 years, I feel my life has been a patchwork of cultures. This plays out in my need to fragment my work. I seem incapable of seeing a painting as finished until it has been deconstructed and remade in various ways. I have an innate urge to chop things up and put them back together again.
I have been a full time artist for many years, working across various mediums, including fibre and glass. I have been featured in numerous newspaper and magazine articles and am a published author with my book ‘Sculptural Secrets for Mosaic’ as well as writing for other art authors. I have also been a guest speaker and writer for Radio National in their series on Colour Theory. I have been represented and exhibited in New York and Italy as well as Melbourne. My artworks are held in private collections in the UK, Sweden, Italy, the USA and Australia.
Currently I am studying for my BFA with a double major in Painting and Sculpture, graduating in August 2019.
