Replacement Artist Statement!

I’ve decided to change my Artist statement on here because one thing I don’t want my art to be is pretentious and unapproachable. Sometimes the language we are encouraged to use in an Artist Statement feels exactly that!

So here goes- I am very passionate about creating and also encouraging creativity in others. My work is mostly inspired by people and mark making, as simple as that.

I find people, their lives and their physical forms fascinating and it drives me to want to create a version of them. I also often work with “props” in my paintings as they can add a different dimension to a traditional portrait.

I enjoy manipulating materials, mainly working with charcoal and acrylic paint. I experiment with unusual compositions and seeing how far I can push our idea of what makes a “complete” painting to both our eye and mind.
