Minimalist and colour blocking are not often two words you'll find in the same sentence. That's because colours have a huge impact on our perception of space. Because of this, a minimalist might shudder at the thought of adding too much colour, let alone colour blocking. But that doesn't mean it can't be done. The trick is to keep it simple.

My original artworks are created by layer upon layer of bold colour blocks to create a bright, vibrant and unique artwork. Each original artwork takes 7 to 10 days to complete, layering colours one at a time and waiting for them to dry before moving on to the next colour and layer.

Finally, two layers of finishing medium are applied before the final layer of a combination of satin and gloss varnish.
