Sometimes it’s funny when you think you’ve stumbled across a great idea, only to realize later looking back that it’s been there all along.<\/p>\n

The body of work in my upcoming exhibition has developed from a decade of painting portraits in oil.\u00a0 I love using oils because of the jewel-like colours and the transparency of layers, and I have always been drawn to portraiture, from a very young age (age 3 to be exact!).\u00a0 It has been interesting to watch how my work has grown and developed over the years, and all the influences that have crept into my paintings.<\/p>\n

I will be updating my website with my new paintings once this exhibition opens in November, but in the meantime, I thought it would be interesting to show some paintings from over the years that have led up to where I am in my practice today.<\/p>\n

I’ve always really loved floral patterns, whether it was on stationery, pillows, or my clothes. When I paint self-portraits, the busiest floral patterns always seem to make their way into the painting.\u00a0 I’ve even on occasion bought clothes that had a pattern I liked just because I wanted to have it in a portrait!\u00a0 My latest self-portrait is definitely one of those occasions.\u00a0 I wandered into a charity shop that I had never been to before and found this dress.\u00a0 I hesitated because it was quite a loud pattern but I was also instantly drawn to the detail and colours.\u00a0 It was a handmade vintage silk dress with a vivid graphic chrysanthemum pattern.\u00a0 And it has found its way into my painting.<\/p>\n
