About The Artwork
This painting is of the 'Black Wedding Dress' - the same dress that appears in an oil painting I made about a year before. (Please see it elsewhere on my Saatchi account.) I designed and made this dress as a 'sample' for the experimental shape, which took a fair bit of researching. The decoration on the dress - my embroidered song lyrics around the hem, and recycled fabrics, all have a personal connection to significant events in my life - happy, not sad! So it seemed obvious that I should paint it as well. This painting is on Bristol Board which is perfect for marker pens. They can be quickly layered and blended on the smooth surface to give transparent effects. Before I reorganised my studio, I was unable to use it for oil painting for a bit, so the marker pens came out instead. I love them for the delicate touch you have to use, and that you have to make decisive marks or you are lost...

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.
