About The Artwork
I was approaching this painting from a place of curiosity and exploration. I tried to let the marks come without censoring myself or judging the painting as it was evolving. There was almost the thrill of rebellion when painting, for example, a pale blue mark suggestive of petals or feathers. My method has always been to let the paint do the talking. If it wants to run, it runs. If it wants to disperse the pigment, that is what happens. This painting felt uncomfortable to me at times, like having to own the authorship of the painting, in making marks that were more obviously intentional – though crucially, without being contrived. Nothing in this painting was pre-conceived and I tried to stay true to the moment and listen honestly for what needed to happen. The title ‘Beautiful Sting’ references the very aliveness that feels at once exhilarating and threatening. Or put more poetically, the clash of life and death in the moment of awareness of both.

United Kingdom
I am a process-driven painter, meaning that the creation of the artwork is entirely dependent on the moment that I share with the paints. I engage with the materials and the surface as if they are alive and we co-create the painting based on this real-time relationship. There is an element of laying down my ambition for the final image and instead entering a collaborative state where I can discern the direction of the composition and be led to create a painting that accurately embodies the time it was painted in. I work in oils, unusually on oil paper and all of my work is abstract. I work full time from my studio in Hove, UK and exhibit a few times a year in both solo and group exhibitions. You can read more about my artistic process on my blog.
