I seek out moments that occur in our present urban setting, where evolving abstract beauty, deconstruction and decay collide. In nature we see infinite patterns, intricate and perfect.
On the streets I see something similar emerging… my work is immersed in recreating the rhythm and found beauty on the walls and streets around East London, layered with papers, graffiti, and text.
I just discovered it’s #internationaltigerday and I thought this was apt as I’ve been working on a tiger painting for the last 6 weeks for @explorersagainstextinction it’s a charity that is close to my heart. Sumatran Tigers are listed as critically endangered in the IUCN red list. It’s estimated that fewer than 400 of these tigers are estimated to remain in the wild. How tragic… but thank God to all who are doing all they can to save these creatures. Decline is due to poaching and habitat loss.
More details to follow in the near future on this piece.

Life doesn’t get much better than this. It was so great to be out on Jono’s boat again. There is such a different perspective looking back at the land. There are honestly no filters 💙 thanks Jono!

Another one of my satin cushions looking out into St Brides Bay. I felt so revived breathing in some Welsh sea air last week and to feel the sea on my toes.
I know many of us have been lucky to be by the sea and enjoy this burst of almost Mediterranean weather. It felt so good to warm my Mediterranean bones. 🇨🇾🏴

Good Tuesday morning. I hope your Summer hols have started well. The last few weeks of term always fly by.
When you are a parent you feel like it’s the end of your artist year as you know that the summer priority is time to regroup and recharge the family for the autumn and winter months ahead. And what an academic year it was!
I was lucky to get a few days in beloved Wales last week, catching up with dear friends and being by the #pembrokeshirecoast it always restores and inspires my soul and I count my blessings that this part of the world came into my life and changed it forever.
Here is one of my silk cushions in situ of where this beautiful edible crab originated. I think it sits beautifully in its natural environment!
