Artist statement
Art is another form of communication and a way to represent the world. In maths, there is a questions and an answer, just as art can answer questions about the world. Art imitates life in a more abstract way.
I am a naturally bubbly and cheerful person, but there is the other side. I have overcome many things in my life, and now I just want to create more laughter and fun into everyday life. The art I create is often described as "cute" or "funny," During lockdown, people have often become downhearted. I am pleased every time someone looks at her paintings and smiles. They are all supposed to be fun and engaging, and generally to lighten up their day!
I am a dog portrait artist, but the dogs themselves represent something. I am able to create dogs with their personalities shining through. . As a child, I struggled with a sense of loss and loneliness, but my pets were her not just pets, so consequently I feel an emotional connection to dogs and inclined to paint them. Her dogs were often her only friends,
I have a quirky, energetic personality as well as a great sense of humour, and this shines through with my art. This is done through my tremendous thirst for colour and movement in my creations. Each picture represents a story and personality. Whether or not you are into dogs, whilst looking at my art work, one cannot help but smile!
Recently I have began experimenting in printing. I have loved drawing my dogs with their ever changing facial expressions, but I have now discovered that I also enjoy creating drawings and prints of cat. Cats give me an extra challenge, because unlike dogs, their facial expressions do not change. However, their eyes and body movements are their only way to express emotions, and I am loving my discovery of cats and portraying these personalities. Watch this space - prints of cats are coming soon!
