ABOUT MY PRACTICE
Creating art, anchored primarily within a two dimensional plane, with parallel explorations into three dimensional multifaceted work formulated to communicate concepts being developed, the evolvere of a visual vocabulary making up a dialect and language is middlemost in the maturation of an emerging practice. Continuous refinement of detail, surface, texture, and the interplay of shadow and light informing and bringing life to subject matter being drawn and painted.
A heterogeneous mix of, traditional and experimental materials, media and techniques are deployed and synthesised to deepen a visual language, expanding the scope of expressive dialogue articulated within the concept explored.
Qualifications Specific: M.A. Fine Art. B.A. (Hons) Fine Art Painting and Drawing.
