I am an Artist living and working in Portsmouth. I have exhibited in London, Portsmouth and Chichester and my work is represented by La Belle Epoch Art Gallery.
My paintings and drawings explore and celebrate the female form. It is about uniting, empowering women as we accept and celebrate our changing bodies during the adult phase of our lives.
My recent series of work titled ‘Naked Emotion’ unites the physical, with the emotion.
The idea of unity of mind and body is that our thoughts, feelings, and physical states are interconnected and influence each other.
In the vulnerability of nudity our emotions become visible, we cannot hide them.
In my work different emotions are depicted through the pose and choice of colour of the figure.
The unpredictable nature of the medium of alcohol ink has allowed me to channel emotions such as loss, empathy, and strength.
All emotions are valuable as they enable us to attach ourselves to what matters. Naked emotion aims to give us awareness and the power to relate to others.
