"Ariella's Dress" Painting

My mixed-media paintings have been exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour at the Mall Galleries, The Royal Watercolour Society, Bankside Gallery and several smaller contemporary art gallery group shows in London.
Experimental painting techniques have always played a large part in my work since studying constructed textiles at the Royal College of Art. I now channel my interest in creating unusual effects onto paper and canvas and am constantly exploring and developing new techniques, encouraging the viewer to try & work out how it was done!
My paintings are often built up using a variety of processes including layers of textured gesso, watercolours, inks, acrylics or oils and are then sanded and re-worked to develop a unique and enigmatic identity.
I also sometime incorporate hand painted fragments of paper in the form of collage to enhance the textural effect .
Subjects can be divided into atmospheric landscapes, cityscapes and still life which sometimes overlap.
My work has been sold to a wide range of collectors in the UK, Europe, USA, and Australia including Dulwich Picture Gallery as a gift for one of their trustees, a Silicone Valley billionaire, a Hollywood film producer, a magician, a forensic tax investigator and a stand-up comedienne amongst many others.
My live and work studio is in a converted Victorian church school in South East London.
