I’d been looking for inspiration to add to the light box but when I came across this line I had to place it on the bricks at the back of the studio. I love the idea of being erased whilst still existing. I can’t help but think of death and the energy we leave behind, Read More

I’ve been making these images for just over a year now. They started off as a bit of a laugh with one of my lovely insta chums @junkshopvenus, but I haven’t been able to stop making them when I come across the right image. Matching my face to those photos of people I find interesting. Read More

I can’t remember why I picked up Michel Craig-Martins book, it hadn’t been recommended by anyone I knew or someone on Instagram but maybe it had been Amazon? Anyway, that’s kind of irrelevant. One day I didn’t have it and then I did. I loved it from the beginning. Sometimes these books can take a Read More

I love beginning a painting when I no idea where it’s going to go. When it becomes about the music around me, the paint, the colors and the energy. This emerged from the end of my brushes almost by osmosis which is a silly thing to say on the one hand but it really did Read More

Does anyone else struggle to name their work? It’s like naming your kids. It comes with soooo much baggage. I’m the worst at making the decision. Sometimes they arrive with a name (like the kids) and other times they want to remain anonymous. Untitled. I like this as a word. It writes nicely and looks Read More

I’d seen on pintrest a couple of years ago, a window full of coloured balloons and it stayed with me as something, if I ever had my own space, I would love to do. So, imagine my joy when the studio not only had one but two great windows at the front of it. Oh Read More
