Vases and Vessels

By definition, vessels are 'hollow containers', which take the form of sculptural and artistic ornaments. At the same time, vases are a type of vessel that brings both functionality and elegance to the home. My paintings are intended to bring all of those elements together, form, function and beautiful pattern and bold colour palettes. My paintings are a mix of my own repeat patterns which have been digitally printed on silk fabric first and then cut and fused to the canvases, with the rest of the painting completed in acrylic paint. The paintings are framed with a hand washed lime finish on a wooden frame to give a touch of elegance to the finished painting.
