Notes on the artwork
All works are
original. I draw from life. The human form is beautiful and
challenging to draw. A charcoal line is expressive and shows
meaning in a drawing. A simple line gives form on which the
viewer can elaborate in their minds eye. Perfection of line
without colour or detail has now lead me back to my roots and I
endeavour to place images onto textured and coloured fabrics
bringing a new element to the work.

Gouache
"Gouache
uses harder lines filtered out gradually by water to
create a more detailed lifelike image." |
Charcoal
drawings
"Charcoal is
the most repressive and dynamic on paper producing clear
dramatic lines." |
|

 |
Inks
"Inks offer shade and contrast and unpredictable linear
work when I create a form from the human figure." |
Pastels
"Suspended images on coloured backgrounds emphasising
play on light and shade to create shape and textures of
the skin." |
 |
Textiles
"Printing
the images onto fabric enables you to touch and feel the
artwork rather than 'just look from behind the glass'. I
have used a range of different fabrics and experimented
with textured, transparent and reflective properties of
them all. Using material changes the overall sensation
of the artwork. Once the image is silk screened, dried,
them stretched and sealed onto the backing board its
ready to be hung. Over time the fabric twists and turns
and realigns itself to the new habitat, so changing the
feel of the image again! Its a great medium to work in!
I hope you like them! Watch the site for more updates in
the next few weeks." |
