Life in a Dry Season

I love succulents and cactus. There colours and structure. This piece depicts cracked, drought stricken earth and how hardy and resilient these plants can be. I like the contrast of the fleshy succulents with the dry earth.Somewhat like life which has many seasons. Surviving the dry barren ones isn't easy but you can still thrive while you wait for better days.

I have always enjoyed drawing even as a young child. Being mostly self taught I have developed my own style with unique character.
I enjoy the whimsical side of life and I believe this reflects in my work.
My love of drawing has culminated in works created on canvas with acrylic paint pens, ink pens and added foil leaf highlights on some of my pieces.
I like the contrast of black and white and I keep this as my main concept, with an added splash of colour for contrast and vibrancy. There are often some hidden surprises in my works that encourages discussion and areas of interest.
Many of my pieces have a childlike appeal but I also cater for the more mature collector.
I have sold pieces, locally, nationally and internationally and have had pieces included in joint and solo exhibitions in my local area.
