I had this dress which never fitted me as I bought it in a rush to wear to a wedding. A student of mine tried it on, and it fitted her perfectly, so I asked if I could take some photos as a starting point for a painting. I bought the dress as I loved the colour combinations, the design that reminded me of a Mondrian painting, and the way the sections changed shape as my model moved. The marker pen medium is great for this type of painting as the smooth flat texture slightly abstracts the shapes and accentuates graphic image. This painting is in marker pen and Indian ink on heavyweight acrylic paper.

I have always had a love of fabrics and clothing, and in my parallel life as a designer, pattern cutter & maker, the fashion drawing and illustration process has always been important. Painting portraits of wedding dresses and other clothing, came as a natural progression. I have always carried on my artwork alongside designing and making, and I’d had an itch to make oil pastel paintings of clothing for a couple of years, but work always got in the way. When the wedding dress painting idea came up, I began by using oil paint on canvas for a more voluptuous look. Clothing has always been very meaningful to me for many reasons, and with the portraits I wanted to project an ethereal atmosphere, with a dramatic, theatrical edge through photo editing as a starting point. Having always used marker pens for my design drawings, I decided to try them as an ‘ideas’ medium. The results are graphic and simple, on smooth Bristol board, with a fresh translucence, almost like a watercolour. I have catholic tastes, and this is reflected in my work.
