For some time I have been wrestling with going forward with my two styles of art, the small oil paintings of fruit/veg/flowers etc and the large acrylic LineArt/Pop Art pieces. I ended up getting ill trying to manage it all and with my enforced rest I made some decisions.
I am putting the small oil paintings on hold for now. I will still be selling the larger prints of these artworks and also my greetings cards. www.juniqe.com always has a selection of my prints available and also www.northstreetgallery.com. If you are interested in any of those pieces, please get in touch, link at bottom of this post.
My real passion though is for the PopArt which I have always labelled LineArt. I started painting in this style when I lived in Cape Town, the sunshine and bright colours there really inspired me. Personal circumstances meant I had to pause this for a while, but since discovering quite by chance the work of Michael Craig-Martin last autumn I am fired up again. Those colours! However my work is female related, by choice. I have two series on the go at the moment; ‘Alone Not Lonely’ about embracing and navigating life alone, after my beloved partner died, and ‘She Is Unknown’ which usually involves women in poses with no facial detail, or no face at all. As women we are more than just the beauty of our faces.

2025 is looking exciting and as I finally start entering art competitions again and look for gallery representation. I believe in my work and I hope you will too
