Exhibiting painting, drawing, sculpture, photography and mixed media. Artist portfolios are reviewed. The sponsor of the Chelsea International Fine Art Competition.
Working with ink and water is a technique I have developed over the past six years. I find that the process lends itself to introspection over the work as not just someone's face but more of a landscape of hills and valleys. lips become mountains and eyelids become roads to somewhere new. Working close to the canvas I loose sight of the whole.. It almost feels like doing sculpture at times .
People say to me, "Can you paint so and so?" and I always try but sometimes the painting wants to be someone else or something else. Each painting is its own world and its own time. I paint women but they are my medium to express not only people specifically but also moods and places. It's as if I am always looking at the world through the prism of the female form and that is tremendously interesting to me.
