In the night garden Painting

I'm currently a part time artist/full time mum of two beautiful little girls. I paint as often as my limited spare time allows and love every second of it. I have a degree in illustration however my love of abstract painting developed a few years after graduating. There are several artists I was introduced to at university whose work and style inspired me. Gerhard Richter, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Joan Mitchell, Monet and Christo are to name but a few. Their work transformed my opinion of modern art allowing me to fully appreciate colour and form. This I believe is reflected in my work. I also have a degree in environmental management and a masters in environmental design of buildings. Both of which have taught me about sustainable living and to embrace ways to reduce my carbon footprint. I believe one way we could reduce our carbon footprint is to choose our purchases more wisely. By selecting pieces designed to last instead of mass produced items that have less sentimental value, get thrown away and end up in landfill. People connect to paintings on a personal level making them the perfect gift for loved ones or a special treat to transform living space. For this reason, buying an original painting is an easy way to do our bit and shop a bit greener (other canvas colours available)!
