I create inks paintings that are full of movement and has a fluid like quality to it. Inks are not the easiest to use and they can either work really well or go terribly wrong- it has taken me a lot of experiments and hard work to get to the stage where I am with them.
No two pieces are ever the same which is another quality to inks that I enjoy. My acrylic paintings are similar in the sense that I don’t fully plan out the end result. Instead I allow the paint to move freely down the walls or on a canvas which allows colours to blend together.
I layer up the paint to create depth and contrast and I purposely leave drips in my work to give the painting the feel of movement and freedom.
Some of my earlier work at the beginning of my journey
I love to keep my work spontaneous and progressive by getting out of my comfort zone and not fully planning the end result of my paintings. I love to allow my work to naturally progress and this is what keeps me really immersed and engaged in what I am creating.
I get inspiration from anything and everything and I like to come up with something different whether that`s by technique or subject matter.
My inspirations come from nature, my travels, patterns and everything else in between! I create paintings, drawings, mixed media pieces as well as tattoo designs. Along with that, I also make jewellery, get designs printed onto clothing and bags and I even dye my own fabrics to make cushions.
From a very young age, I have loved Art and it’s something I have grown up doing.I always wanted to ‘be an Artist when I grew up’ so I am very lucky that I have kept my passion and creativity alive.
