I am an artist working & living in lovely brighton. My paintings are mostly based on the thoughts & feelings I may be experiencing at a particular time, quite diarylike in their execution I guess. I use alot of text in each piece usually, writing direct onto the canvas or whatever surface it may be. Luckily for me my writing is very tiny, so it is quite a challenge to decipher, but I like that, that if the viewer takes the time to really look into the pieces that they might be rewarded...

Mostly scribbling in my sketchbook to record all the day to day happenings, everything from the glances of strangers to my own thoughts & feelings they all infiltrate back into my pieces so I am constantly noting things down physically or mentally..., going to see bands in cool venues, Dancing to indie and hip hop tunes in dark clubs is when i am at my happiest, if you know me you know this is an understatement!!!, wearing sparkly jewels, nice frocks and tutu skirts- i'm all about the frou frou, Ballet & our tap dancing troupe, heading upto town to see new exhibitions, eating ice lollies, Collecting sparkly cute things, Boys in eyeliner :) Catching up with my lovely friends, And spending time down on brighton beach. Sitting on the pebbles, watching the sea has to be the best thing about living here, I will never take it for granted...
