Cherry on Top Painting

My work ranges from fantastic and fashionable to dark and suggestive. I seek to arouse, amuse and surprise in equal measure. My art began in fashion, but branched out from squeaky clean editorial spreads and runway chic to seek out opera houses, crumbling theatres, brothels and fairytale forests. I seek a femininity that is open and raw as an opium poppy but keeps grace and poise with Victorian formality. Ultimately, I enjoy contrast. The more jarring, the better. My chaotic temperament makes itself known in my art and I work quickly and spontaneously, often making a lot of mess in the process. I strive to keep a lightness of touch that allows me to explore challenging subject matter with whimsy and humour whilst avoiding worthiness. I have come to use a lot of gold. Gold obviously brings to mind luxury, success and royalty but is also synonymous with illumination and sacred divinity. I’ve recently surprised myself and starting including liberal amounts of pink. Surely the ultimate colour of contrasts, pink suggests both innocence and sexual passion and, as a tool, it plays both to the fairytale quality and the erotic suggestions of my work.
