Work was inspired by abstract expressionist artists such as Jean Mitchell, Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock, Cy Wombly. I wanted to paint a very fast dynamic piece using squiggly lines of bright colours over the canvas interlaced with white paint, that has been moved across blank canvas with flat edge in swirling shapes to create interesting effects. I used the sharp edge of palette knife to print criss cross design over the border. This can be used if painting is turned into box frame painting. Border can be folded over so that the design is visible at the sides. The image is chaotic and the phrase wall to wall is written at the top. The image is meant to depict growing population and the masses trying to fit in to smaller spaces so everywhere is crowded is full. I have drawn a few faces and skulls on some of the shapes. I wanted to experiment with moving white paint over colours to see what shapes would be created and have fun with using loads of different colours and filling every space.

I have always been very viisual and my early interest in alternative music, tattoos, graphic novels definitely influenced me. My early work was more surreal, with figures/forms growing into each other or landscapes. I used watercolours for a time too, and found this helpful when creating works with lots of detail. I also started designing major arcana tarot cards as I was studying psychology and art therapy and had always been fascinated by Carl Jung and his idea of archetypes and collective unconscious. However my work in last decade has been experimenting with expressionism and abstract art which has developed through varying styles such as folk art, abstract primitivism and street art. My favourite artists are Basquiat for his use of writing and symbols in his work. Pollack and Brasner for creating art that is more about the process. I love to paint fast energetic designs with bright colours and then lots of contrasting shades. I have begun to use a technique where I move paint with a squeegee to create interesting effects. Other artists that have influenced me are Karel Appell, Jimmy Ernst, Willem and Elaine de Cooning, Van Gogh, Jean Mitchell, All have inspired me to build up layers of texture and depth, sometimes scratching writing or symbols to create interesting effects or hidden messages about painting itself. Frida Kahlo is also one of my favourites. I have travelled a lot in Mexico during Day of the Dead and relish in their rich arts and crafts cultural heritage and have tried to mimic their colour palettes and imagery of La Calavera Catrina in some of my more folk-art abstracts.I have also used themes of mythology and feminism in some of my pieces, identifying oppression and our connection to earth.
