The launch event was quite an intimate one. The team at The Larder put on drinks and cakes and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. We kept it casual and my partner – who helped with installing the exhibition and is always my greatest champion – and I took the kids with us to experience the launch… and the cakes and hot chocolate! A few of my friends, colleagues, and students came down to show support along with friends of The Larder. It was a lovely evening.
My initial training was in graphics but predominantly illustration and I have always favoured a hand-rendered approach. Painting and printmaking have always been my favourite processes despite shifts in style and content. Like many artists, I have moved through different phases with my art. To me, a piece of music has a temperature that generates a palette of colours. Sounds have textures that can be represented through the choice of media and mark-making. Rhythm, beat and direction can all be reflected in the gestural movements that are captured on the canvas or wood in most cases.
Music is pretty much essential to my practice. It is my non–figurative reference point in the creation of my work. I always have music playing when I’m painting.
