THE HEADS
IN 2015 I CREATED A SERIES OF OVER 70 HEADS IN JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS. THESE WERE A VERY ENJOYABLE EXPLORATION OF SOME OF THE PAINFUL THINGS I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE. ALTHOUGH THE PAINTINGS MAY MAKE YOU THINK I WAS IN THE DEPTH OF DESPAIR WHILST CREATING THEM, THEY WERE IN FACT THE SERIES OF PAINTINGS I HAD THE MOST FUN AND JOY PAINTING. I FOUND IT EXCITING TO USE PAINT AND COLOUR AS A WAY OF EXPRESSING DIFFICULT EMOTIONS.
THIS IS SOMETHING I LOVE TO TEACH IN MY WORKSHOPS. YOU CAN FIND A SHORT VIDEO OF ALL THE HEADS VIA THIS LINK

THE UNFOLDING - A COLLABORATION
The Unfolding is a collaboration between myself and Joe Samuel a classically trained pianist. We create together. I paint in response to what I hear him play. Joe plays in response to what he sees me paint.
In the end, we both have a piece of work that wouldn't be in existence without the other.
This painting is called The Journey
