This is a portfolio of my paintings. A lot of my work centres around self portraiture. In my painting practice I want to create thought-provoking work that everyone will take something from. Some could see it as unsettling, while others might find some of it comforting and some may take it at face value to see the dramatic forms and blank stares simply as a painting style. For me I wanted to harness the therapeutic powers of art and use it as a tool to re-find my sense of self and confidence which I found in both the outcome and process of creating which as its own experience was both uneasy and comforting.
