3rd Year Paintings

These are two of my favourite paintings that I produced in my final year at University. I used a new technique of 'scrapping' paint across a surface (in this case Canvas) to create these pieces.


This was another painting i made using the same technique but trying a brighter variety of hues to change the 'mood' of the piece.



These two Dunny's were made using thin MDF and cut-out canvas



'Silhouette' & 'Into the Light' are two paintings I produced for my Final show. 'Silhouette' was recently in an exhibition at The Beetroot Tree Gallery in Draycott, Derby.

2nd Year Paintings

During my second year at University I experimented with layers, colours and moods. The top three pictures are from the first term, the bottom two are from a joint project in which we looked into the poem 'The Jabberwocky' and produced work that represented our interpretations of the imagery in the poem.

1st Year Paintings

During my first year at University I found out that the son of a family friend had a very aggressive Brain Tumor. Ben went through a number of operations and boughts of Chemo Therapy etc but about a year and a half after being diagnosed he went peacefully in his sleep.
All the feelings I had about what was going on I channelled into my art, bellow are a couple of pieces of work i produced.
