I’ve shared a new reel on Instagram showing the first stage of my latest project: cleaning old cymbals to create contemporary artwork. If you're curious, head over to my Instagram, and let me know what you think. I'd love to have you along for the journey. #Art #ArtistProcess #ContemporaryArt

The Three Fates: Work, Life, & Balance A cynical response to the corporate myth of balance. Three faces of one woman with impossible expectations, work, family, self, obscured by a burned-out mask. Because sometimes success requires splitting yourself into pieces. #ContemporaryArt #FeministArt #Art

Revisiting Oxide Dreams. I thought this painting was finished, but adding worn fabric strips has deepened the themes of decay and renewal and strengthened its ethereal atmosphere. One of several ongoing studio projects evolving right now. #abstractart #contemporaryart #mixedmedia

Cleaning old battered cymbals for a new abstract art project. Removing years of oxidation and preparing the surface before transforming them into artwork. Follow the process and see what they become. #art #abstractart #artistprocess #contemporaryart #studioprocess

"Elena" Opening night and Elena is on the wall. Inspired by my husband’s grandmother, resistance member, concentration camp survivor, teacher. Painted turning away from darkness and toward the light. #Art #Painting #GalleryOpening #ArtExhibition #Internationalwomensday

I was reminded of an Andy Warhol exhibit that I saw a long time ago that included his oxidation series. Where he'd used urine and copper based paint. So I thought I'd start my own experiment with some copper leaf, I'll see if I can get that gorgeous verdigris effect. Base layer complete #art

The premise of these paintings are small words of advice & encouragement for a child, the types of thing you wish you had been told as a child but never were, you just needed to know that someone was on your side. Is there some simple advice that you wish you had been told as a child? #abstract #art

These two paintings are titled "This Way" & "That Way" & symbolise a brief peek at how many different ways a fact, image, chapter of a book, etc can be viewed and interpreted. We're all individuals & each has our own viewpoint on any one topic. I may see it this way, you may see it that way. #art

Ecstatic that my whimsical, fungi & ethereal forest painting "Gaia's Gathering" has sold from the exhibition at Sker Gallery in Kenfig Nature Reserve. If you missed out on this, I do have hand embellished prints available & will be adding them to my website soon. #originalart #art #sold #painting

I haven’t played with colour like this in a long time. No pressure, no expectations, just soft movement and gentle marks. These pieces are a reminder that art is a place to relax, unwind, and discover something new. Art is primarily about playing and exploring. #abstractart #art #artist #painting

My joyful painting titled Genesis: Let there be Fairy Lights is currently on display at the #SkerGallery in #KenfigNatureReserve It's symbolic of my playful take on the birth of fairy lights. What could be more festive at this time of year!? #art #artforsale #gallery #festive #abstractart

What it’s like to be an artist, balancing art and creativity. For me painting is my meditation, if I can't paint I can't be. #originalart #art #womenartists #ArtistLife #abstractart #skullart #meditation #meditationart

Currently working on the second painting in my "Love is in the Air" series. I love painting colourful modern abstract paintings and I include a lot of symbolism, particularly my use of skulls, but it's up to the viewer to interpret what the painting means to them #originalart #art #Liquitex #molotow

I've started sketching out the underpainting for my next project, themed on inspirational women. I've decided to base this painting on my husband's grandmother, who I have written about in the past. She was a Polish political prisoner of war and survivor of Ravensbrück and Sachsenhausen. #art

Introducing my new painting "Genesis: Let there be Fairy Lights!" Looking at the painting under regular lighting it looks very frosty, but under UV light, that's when the festive fairy lights shine! I feel this was the metaphorical birth of fairy lights, hence the name includes Genesis. #art

A quick update on the glazing fix post that I made and how to fix mistakes in an acrylic painting. My idea to use an initial coat of #Liquitex spray varnish worked really well. There was no reaction whatsoever between the glazes & subsequent coats of varnish. I'm super happy 😁 #art #abstractart

Fix mistakes in acrylic painting. My mistake, I used clear PVA glue in glazes for orbs. This meant I couldn't use a liquid varnish over them because the PVA would become sticky. I realised I could spray varnish as a sealant over the glazes prior to any finishing touches and final varnish. #art

Step into a Bioluminescent Grove, an expressive abstraction dream where #fungi glow with surreal energy. Clusters of mushroom caps radiate turquoise, magenta, and aqua. This piece celebrates the magic of hidden worlds where the forest floor transforms into a cosmic lantern. #Art

I've had a quick practice run at setting up the table for the emporium/market at #kenfignaturereserve on Sunday. My table at home is smaller than the one I'll have there so I didn't try and put everything out, but I'm pleased with how it looks. #art #originalart #artforsalebytheartist

My latest paintings finished. The Weird Sisters 8"x10" acrylic on canvas. I took inspiration from Shakespeare's Macbeth. It was a challenge getting neon to look dark and foreboding, but I managed it. Do you like neon art? DM me. #art #originalart #abstractart

#art There is nothing wrong with being exactly who you are! I spent far too many years being too scared to do anything. Now, I'm constantly trying to push myself out of my comfort zone & find different challenges for myself. It's scary, but I like it. I'll either succeed or I'll learn something new.

Taking inspiration from #Macbeth, I'm currently working on a series of three small abstracts entitled The #WeirdSisters. These paintings are a mix of my favourite vibrant neons and include lots of movement and texture. I can't wait to see how they end up. #originalart #neonart #abstractart #art

It costs a lot of money to get ready for market, so I need to save money where I can. I have these A5 size original artworks so I got a cheap stamp with my name on & a circle punch & started creating these. I like them, they're simple & effective & each is a free piece of #originalart #artforsale
