Titled 'The Mermaid in a Bath of Bubbles' is painted on a canvas board with mixed media. The background is built up in several layers, scraped with a lino tool togive a rich texture and then further layered with strips of painted paper from another painting. Once I had achieved the desired effect with the background I overlayed the canvas board with charcoal acrylic paint and used coloured 'Posca pens' to create the lines, which were smudged to finalise the base ready to finish the piece. The remainder of the painting is finished in oils. I would like to draw your attention to her hair clip, the base was made out of air dried clay which was then primed and painted. I created the 3 dimensional flower from peeled dried out paint from the artist palette. This is a technique I discovered purely by accident in previous work and have used it many times since to create an interesting texture. The inspiration for this work was the 'Bodica' the image is quite angelic, so I wanted to create the mermaid in the same angelic way filled with a bath of bubbles. The mermaid soaks in the bubbles of thought, a deep thinker. She looks towards you in a shy and demure way. What does she think about? Is she alone? Is she relaxed? Let's say she could be listening to you.

I never really know what to write, or even how to talk about myself especially when it comes to ones own topic. So I will keep this brief. I am a UK-based artist who earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Communication from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia in 1998. I travelled a lot, lived in Australia , which was my home for 7 years. Moved back to the UK and subsequently moved around the Southcoast area such as Brighton, Lymington, Southampton, Isle of Wight until settling back to Bournemouth. I became a Teacher in 2002, and taught Design and Art at Brockenhurst College for 6 years. In 2016 I went to college and studied counselling and received a diploma in art therapy. During my training, I had a small business in Pokedown for three years, in which I sold and exhibited Art, made coffees and sold Vintage clothing with my dear friend Rob. This is where I started my Art therapy workshops for several charities and non profit organisations., such as B'EAT, BCHA, Richmond Fellowship, Rise and so on. I have been fortunate to have exhibited work in locations across UK , including Brighton where I lived for several years, Bournemouth and London, I also exhibited my work at Brush Gallery in Singapore. Over the years I have sold many works to collectors around the world. One particular piece is owned by a well-known figure from the band The Jam. I was fortunate to have also worked on several commissioned works for branding US reality shows such as Gas Monkey, and Orange County Choppers. I have also worked with record labels such as Azuli records and generated album covers for Space Ibiza. In the last few years I have been primarily focusing on painting and exploring my own creative techniques. Playing on the quirky and whimsical narrative and utilising my intuition when it comes to creating my pieces. I do not like to limit my style, but rather I see it as a journey of self-expression. I love combining textures and blending vivid colours together, and most of the time I have no idea where the final piece will take me, I just tend to carry on till I say 'It's Done..' Once again Thank you for visiting my Saatchi Studio. . I am available for commissions, exhibitions and purchases. If you want to ask me anything please use the contact page. I will be happy to discuss anything ( well not anything ) you understand what I mean ..
