The days when you feel very close to the sky.

The Lines We See
During my recent experiences with lockdown and home-schooling, my priorities shifted, and I struggled to find the inner quiet to paint. But at the start of 2021, I decided that it was time to create again. My new collection, The Lines We See, incorporates other tools alongside the traditional paintbrush. It incorporates the use of scrapers and sanding which changes the texture of the paint. Even when removed, paint can leave a trace and I love how this appears on the canvas. In the collection, you’ll find contrast and the conversation of colour. Sometimes, it’s the simplicity of two colours and their conversation that can speak the loudest.
In the collection, you’ll also find oil bar marks between the sanding. Some of these lines are visible in the final result, whereas others have disappeared the day after their creation. Oil painting requires a great deal of patience. At any one time, I work on up to 10 paintings, which tell a story when linked together.

The collection was inspired by the use of tools other than brushes. I’ve pushed myself to limit the use of colour on each panel while building up the surfaces and texture. This was achieved by using a palette knife to add and scrape paint across the panels, then sanding away the paint. Each layer reveals different history about the paint and its journey, adding depth to the overall piece.
I’ll visit you on-site, learn about your goals, take a brief, and quote the piece.
The creative process begins! In this stage, your piece comes to life.
Finally, I’ll deliver your artwork and provide installation advice.
If you’re inspired by the artwork in this collection, get in touch with me to organise a commissioned piece.
