Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am currently caring for my sick mother and so, while I have uploaded some past works my new work will likely be slow in coming.
While life is not exactly the way I planned it right now, I wouldn't choose to be anywhere else.
I have created this blog to remind me, in the meantime, of who I am and what it is that I 'do'.
I hope you enjoy my 'stuff' as much as I enjoy yours.
Have a lovely day!

This one was a custom order from a lady who wanted all her own 'symbology' on it.
"Color in a Picture is like Enthusiasm in Life." ~van Gogh
Colour!
I love colour.
I love to play with colour and try not to take myself too seriously.
I work with matt acrylics, watercolour, gauche, inks and whatever else takes my fancy. I use artist quality paints and pigments and Arches 300 gsm paper usually. Sometimes I will stretch my paper directly onto a canvas or onto a frame as I work really wet to begin with and I've yet to find a gummed tape that stands up to it.
A bit eclectic really.
This blog has been created to showcase my artwork.
Feel free to contact me via the email link if you are interested in anything.

You did a beautiful job! Looks like you spent a lot of time on it. Do you use acrylics to paint on a drum?
Yes, and a special leather sealer on top too.
Of course she wanted her own,,,
and a fine job of it you did!
Custom orders can be so nerve-wracking!
I'm sure she was more than pleased.
Wow. I just love the woman with the animal totems. The dragonfly reminds me of Mantis, from Bushman/Khoi legends in Africa.
