Notes


About

I am a figurative painter based in Brighton, painting mainly from life. I am drawn to the more expressive side of painting, whilst trying to be truthful to what I see before me. My work frequently has a personal connection to my life and I often paint the people and places that are important to me. I love the process of painting, the texture and colours of oil paint and the technical challenge of painting with it. I want the work I produce to have a truthfulness about it, and resonate with other people.

Education

Kingston University, Hons degree Fine Art Painting 1990

Select Exhibitions/Awards

Recent exhibitions include the Royal Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Society of Women Artists, Worthing Museum and Art Gallery and the Sussex Contemporary

I am longlisted for the Herbert Smith Freehills Portrait Award 2024 at the National Portrait Gallery.

Gallery Representation

I don't have gallery representation currently, but sell through an annual Artists Open House in Brighton.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork

I choose to paint still life for the postcards, double priming before painting with oil paint and varnishing.These objects have been featured in other paintings and I enjoy using the same source material in a number of works. These objects have meaning for me as they belong to important family members and represent significant times in my life. I painted the works from life over a number of sessions using large brushes to retain a loose painterly feel

You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
