Artwork Description

Continuing my exploration of marine life, I’ve recently found myself drawn to lobsters and other crustaceans. This piece is a playful reimagining of a lobster, born from my imagination and brought to life with bold pattern and expressive detail.

Please note that the painting is even more vibrant in person, with warmer, slightly more golden tones than appear in photographs, as well as the signature, which is a burnt sienna hue. I’m also increasingly embracing my sketching practice, allowing the pen work to take a more prominent role in my paintings. In this piece, the expressive linework creates texture, movement, and character, giving the lobster a magical presence.

Its much harder for me to talk about my art than it is to paint ;)
Words come later, images and the joy I experience when I paint comes first.

I sometimes think about my work as a maze. I go into long winded paths of discovery, I dive deep into a subject but I follow tangents too. They sometimes lead to dead ends yet other times bring about the most wonderful discoveries.

Ive learned not to give up too soon. Is almost a scientific approach: establishing outcomes through testing and experimentation; making observations, predictions and most importantly analysing the results.

I work in collections. I explore a subject until I feel like its ran its course. I paint in tied palette that I almost always mix myself, colour mixing and creating my own colours is a big part of my prep work. My palette oscillates between earthy tones, dark moody ones and blue, the colour that I seem to be gravitating towards in recent months. As Van Gogh said "There is no blue without yellow and orange", therefore I also incorporate those two, its a must!
