Artist Statement

BA (Honours) in Creative Expressive Therapies, University of Derby.

My current work explores the relationship between inner and outer worlds and the conflicts experienced through this relationship. The work considers the roles we place upon ourselves and those that are placed on us by society and our own environments. It considers the inner person we are away from outside influences and where our identity lies without the perception of others.
Most of my work uses oil or acrylic on canvas often using varying textured effects within the paints. An emphasis is placed upon the idea of contrast within these mediums, looking at both the contrast of light, brushstroke and texture. This contrast, I find, creates intense and emotive imagery communicating messages involving inner and outer worlds.
Self portraiture plays a tremendous part in my work. I can be found in most of my painting. Through appearing in my work I can see my presence and I can be more reflective on myself and my experiences. This allows me to be the subject, the painter and the viewer, whilst allowing me to communicate to the viewer the feelings I wish to express.
My inspiration often begins with mental imagery, this can be in the form of nightmares and images that flash into my head during waking hours. I usually begin to paint with those images in my head and the work evolves as I go along. Often I use photography as a way of self portaiture. This allows me to capture the way light creating contrast reacts on the form of my own body and skin, this is translated into painting experimenting with contrast further.
