Scar Face - 50x60cm Wrapped Canvas

I have always been interested in details, the finer intricacies, the colours and textures of life.  The striations of rock, the folds of fabric, wrinkles of skin or rust and peeling paint on a weathered object.  All these things inspire my work however I am intuitively and emotionally driven when laying down a texture and it is only when I start adding paint and dependent on my current mood that it becomes a tangible thing.

Scar Face

Feeling That Way 30x40cm Box Canvas

This heavily textured piece represents my love of details in decay and imperfection.

Feeling That Way

80x30cm Textured Acrylics on Canvas.

Inspired by the stories interpreted by Clarissa Pinkola Estes in Women Who Run With Wolves.  This piece to me represents bones, the ostemancy of divination.  The connection we have to our wilder ancient selves.
