Native American Art Series...

Darker feathers for my Native American man... I think this painting is finished now - there will be more similar paintings soon. I love portraiture, paint & mixed media. I have Native American heritage & often explore themes of history, culture & heritage in my work as well as strength, the spiritual & emotional / social. I regularly use gold & silver in my fine art work - often representing the unseen...

Postcard Portraits Exhibition

I created some 'small' portraits for an exhibition in spring.  I have been really enjoying experimenting with watercolour and combining pencil, ink and paint so I decided to use these to create my postcard portraits. I am experimenting with the concept of absence in some of my work (especially pencil work).  As hair is often an identifying feature I have been exploring leaving it blank; I like the aesthetic, that it is a bit unusual and also draws more attention to the face.

Below the Surface Woman Blue

Here is another portrait from the 'Below the Surface' body of work.  I went to the Stanley Spencer Gallery recently and admired a sketched portrait of his first wife in hard pencil.  It inspired me to use hard pencil in this body of work.
