About The Artwork

It is 2016 Somewhere in the East of London He was just standing there Just before I woke up As real as day He just did not phase Exactly in my bedroom Standing in the only space on the floor Where the bedroom joins the bathroom wall But it was no longer joined Miss matched mesh The two stood together Dressed like a city slicker With his neck bent downward Right next to the shower curtain 'When all the dots line up!" This is my impression of this clear as day Real like my big toe image Which came fast But an impression that still lasts In the middle of lucid dreaming.... Created with tooth picks, polar and Hog hair brushes. Using Oils from established brands Winsor & Newton Lamp Black and Titanium White both Series 1 created the backgrounds. Daler Rowney Georgian Collection Primary cyan and Coeruleum blues mixed, feature against a mix of flesh tint, from the same collection. All sourced from Cass Art in London's Leicester Square and applied to an an old-battered-dented canvas, which previously had a landscape painting. This is the second time I am actually negotiating oils. This time on a dried gesso surface. It has been quite an experience, and a real lesson in patience, actually remembering to wait for the paint to dry. In fact at the time of this upload the canvas is only actually partly dry. So it is a science, strategy and method that I am in the process of becoming accustom too, in-between finding the products which speed up the process. Maybe not the done thing in the world of professional art, or maybe it is. I started the process of sharing my creations so...self consciously, feeling every single insecurity available. Now...I have gone past caring about my art, as art and that is meant in the best possible way. In the form of being and feeling so surrendered to what it is. Past even being bothered if it can be called art. The process is about health. It literally has become about releasing into an unknown abyss of health that seems to heal everything that has been in the space. Of non release, and becoming healthier in the process of beginning, doing, and completing. I attribute that to having a process which provides a vehicle to let go! A mysterious figure of a man appeared to me like a contemporary angel...

Born in London. From kitchen table top, to connecting to the market place creating a hub of creativity. I have had the opportunity and privilege to live and experience many different area's in England and addresses in and around London, living in different social conditions, with a different set of challenges and joy's at each location. These experiences continue to be the biggest influence and inspiration for my work to date, inspiring imaginative impressions, which translate into expressions of fictional characters, and decorative designs. Whilst I did attend formal schooling, I did manage to achieve leaving secondary schooling without qualifications. Later gaining qualifications by investing in vocational training. I initially took up sketching to help me with clothes design, attending a local community college, it was a cheaper option as a young parent at the time. I come from a background of naturally creative people, where things like clothes were made without patterns, or any prior preparation for design. It was a time of instinctive survival, with a jump in and get it done way of living and thinking, learn on the go type of attitude toward life. Writing poetry plays the role of being my first point of creativity, it is a combination of free flow journal writing, "free flow" is a method of unblocking personal expression. Examples of this is the pen sketch and textile remnant journals, where poetry, meaningful sayings, and short messages meet. Expressing myself through writing journals, poetry, and even finding a way of writing threw creating an image, led me to explore painting as a further means of deeper self expression, exploration and release. What emerged is a spontaneous method of painting, composition admittedly is not a study in every piece initially, but emerges in the form of allowing a subject to develop in a space, in whatever form or position it takes. Coming from the era where Art was not seen as a proper job, taking that notion on - for a long time. I struggled to come terms with art as anything other than frivolity, despite being a creative. To understand my work further; The experience behind the creative process. Throughout my life as a child to present day I have been effected by the collection of behaviours known as Stalking. As a child and teen I witnessed others experiences.
