Artwork Description

This work displays my interest in using lines to outline cartoon forms and depict decoration. The colour is gouache and the black line is ink applied with a brush. There is an interesting interplay of depth in the shapes as the forms jostle for position. The image comes from many doodles.

I am a visual artist with a hidden disability. I mainly paint in oil on canvas. My works celebrate the process of painting, embracing changes, accidents, and discoveries made along the way. For as long as I can remember I have been interested in lines in artwork. This interest has distilled to a point where I am painting only in lines. Lines come in many forms‚ the brush stoke‚ the mark‚ calligraphy. I love the way the patterns of lines build up‚ they merge from fields into traces of energy. I am interested in the harmonies and the joining of form and the different scales at which the lines form pattern.
