ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This piece is created on canvas, using acrylics. It is difficult to see in a photograph. But the background of the painting is highly layered and textured yet flat in comparison the the main subject which draws the eye to focus on the subject. I like to create paintings that come alive and this piece is a prime example. Titled 'Tiger Lilly' the painting was inspired by my interest in cats and their personalities. As a tiger she is known to be a majestic predator yet under that grandeur she has this beauty that empathises with the nature of life. You will see the butterfly on her paw whilst a tiny ladybird sits on her claw. These represent her soul and her guidance. You can almost feel them communicating with each other, there is sense of loving kindness in which they speak. Lilly peers over the flowers softly looking at them almost as if they are her own children. I think this piece underpins human life as well, the shells of our existence, both externally and internally. As is often the case, I painted the background to a piece of classical music. I like to keep the title and composer of the particular piece to myself, but it is surprising how often my clients ) many of whom are distinguished and famous musical artists) pick up the musical influence in each individual piece. The background is dark yet has flashes of colour that cascade behind the image. This represents the flickers of light and hope which I hope ee all share in these times of darkness and, for many, despair. This piece to me has a sense of beauty, its tone and texture are vibrant and yet calming and bring a sense of peace to the viewer.

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 ..
