Multiples 2 Painting

I create artwork that explores my childhood emotions. These are emotions that seep into my adult world - sadness, fear, anger, loneliness, vulnerability and occasionally happy emotions. Sometimes the feelings expressed in my work can be clusters of different emotions or fragments of one emotion. In my artwork I create characters that represent aspects of my childhood emotions. The process of creating an artwork starts off simply - I do lots of sketches from memory, sometimes using my non-dominant hand. I also draw fragments from old photos of people to make up one character.
