New Artwork
I am excited about some new portraits... I was in London sketching and photographing models / sitters with amazing hair at the weekend. I'm really looking forward to creating the final pieces. I plan to document my process (something I don't usually do) so look out for some videos!

Contemporary Art Response to Dramatic Charity Event
I ‘documented’ a hairdresser losing her hair through three large paintings on canvas (The Gift I, II, and III).
Reading based Hairdresser Mel, had her long, multi-coloured hair shaved off publicly in her Salon to raise awareness of human sex trafficking and to raise money for a charity supporting victims. The three vibrant paintings depict different stages of the event and the changing atmosphere.
Fellow hairdressers wept as Mel had the last of her hair removed; her sacrificial ‘gift’ was a touching act to witness. 25% of profits from sales of prints and the paintings are donated to The Mustard Tree Foundation’s Rahab Project.
