This body of work encompasses a wide range of subject matter, including
endangered species. Marston Vale Charity and the World Wildlife Fund were
supported. Of course over time subject matter and meaning change for each piece,
but the majority of the self generated pieces are inspired by the idea of
capturing the moment, and are all expressions of my thoughts, experiences or
feelings. Sometimes I take a metaphorical/symbolic approach, perhaps using
animals to represent an emotional response; confrontation, fear, hope and
desire. Animals make great subject matter and I love the instinctual way in
which they behave. I always approach my paintings from a spiritual place, and I
often find painting to be a form of meditation. There's also commissioned pieces
here. These pieces include wedding invitation designs, nudes, scenery; the
subject matter and mediums used range. Some clients have a clear vision of their
requirements, others require a more suggestive approach, initiated with drawings
and photographs to support an understanding of what the finished piece may look
like. |
