A literally surreal take on life under lockdown, how staying at home for months on end has made me feel like a suburban housewife as I anxiously watch the world go by via electronic screens. But both I and my alter ego hold on to hope for the future via a single red rose. From a series of pandemic postcard studies. Collage on panel, 10 x 15 cm

They Sentenced Me To 20 Years Of Boredom

Uncontainable colours and shapes, splashes of watercolour pigment. “A work of art comes only from inside a human being.” – Edvard Munch

Darling, Can't You Hear Me?

From the series The Scream, a homage in title to the great Norwegian painter Edvard Munch. Colours, shapes and hysteria in noisy discord. ​​​​​​​Collage and watercolour on 12”x16” wood panel. Wild-eyed film noir panic with splashes of watercolour and more than a touch of surrealism. “Your face encompasses the beauty of the whole earth. Your lips, as red as ripening fruit, gently part as if in pain.” – Edvard Munch

I Wanna Be Sedated

An alternate narrative where I could move around freely and converse with cities I’ve lived in, visited and loved.
