When I Wake Up Painting

I wanted to create a piece that grabs attention, an 'in your face' splash of red to wake you up, brighten your day and take you on your adventure ahead. A happy red that drips down on the scene behind, ready to take over like a cup of coffee in the morning. As an artist and graphic designer, my aim is to bring beauty into your home and for it to convey new joyful moments. My art is vibrant, full of energy and has movement, created by the many layers of acrylic paint. I'm highly influenced by Mother Nature and all the beauty she gifts us with. About my art: My style is layered, colourful and created with lots of rhythm. Original pieces are created with mainly acrylic paint on canvas and occasionally I use pencil and oil pastel mediums in my work. Paint is layered in colour combinations that are unexpected. Lots of textures are applied to where movement is seen in my pieces. My process: I create my art pieces by memory and feeling on creating a perfect balanced art piece, as my heart feels is right, I don't know the end result and paint with what I have to use at that moment. I create by being present in the moment. I listen to music as it fuels and inspires me and gives energy to the brush strokes. My work is usually created in the late hours of the night, when the world is quiet and energy levels are slowing down.
