BOUNDARIES

ArtArt these days can seemingly be whatever it wants… If an artist or gallery deems it to be art, then it is art! My work is not mainstream or cutting edge but I would describe it as honest. As a figurative and realist painter, my art automatically puts me into that category. However, having said that I am moving towards a loser and more painterly style, but with a portrait commission for example most clients firstly expect a good likeness and composition, which I respect and adhere to. However my own, non commissioned work will I hope develop as I develop. I dont think any artist should stand still, but constantly evolve. For me the main transition initially is to move away from decorative art, my background, to being a figurative painter who’s style will move with the way I see things.

Totally satisfied, very professional service. I never give 5 star reviews because I think they look faked 😉

First rate website, simple to navigate unlike some, very good for a non techy old woman well past her sell by date! The variety and versatility of your work is astonishing, I wish I could afford lots more, particularly your Still Life’s, so calming in a limited palette. You should win awards for them….

What makes good Art?
I am often asked by friends what is art, or what makes good art, or my child of 6 could have done that!! My answer is to that is ‘but they didnt!’ I thought I would take Jean-Michel Basquait as a good example of this!......
