I am quite early on in my career, and not quite sure where the wind will take me or my work but I have a body of work that demonstrates what I have focused on recently. Having got a distinction in my National Foundation Diploma in Art and Design alongside Art History, I am now studying Fine Art Painting at Brighton University. My body of work shows a thorough and inutitive approach to painting. I produce different scale paintings, switiching from large scale to small with great sucess. I explore a diverse range of materials such as resin, silicone, and other mixed media. When a individual discovers my work they are thrown into a layers and complex worls od exploration. I hold a grim determination to master the medium of paint, to bend it to my will, to push it beyond my own or anyone else's expectations. It is not just the image created, but its also depth, shape and contour, a visceral finish that makes the viewer want to reach out and touch, as well as too look.
