Chromatic Muse

This striking portrait depicts a young woman with a bird perched on her shoulder, her steady gaze meeting the viewer’s with quiet confidence. Rendered in a boldly simplified
style shaped by my background in graphic design, the composition radiates with pure, vibrant pigments applied directly from the tube. The raw immediacy of colour transforms the canvas into a dynamic interplay of energy and poise.
Chromatic Muse celebrates the expressive power of simplicity — where line and colour converge to turn a figure into both subject and inspiration.

My True Love.
Generally my style of art is Representational – realistic stuff, anything that has a strong recognisable subject. Sometimes however I abandon my fine art lured by my previous life as a graphic designer and momentarily I'm overcome and revert to the use of minimalist shapes, images and bright colours.
Being an impatient individual, I prefer to work with acrylics rather than other mediums because of their quick drying time. This allows me the flexibility to make mistakes, knowing that I'm able to quickly correct and paint over them.
As an artist I usually I start with a pencil sketch in my painting diary. I don't necessarily paint it straight away, but often visit the diary as inspiration for future work. My true love is the challenge of capturing the the things and sights that have inspired me on my travels around and about.
