About Me

Dundee, United Kingdom
I am a recent graduate of Duncan of Jordanstone college of Art in Dundee, working mainly in oil paint; i am primarily concerned with the nude female figure and am currently exploring the idea of women's sexuality, and the relationship between woman and animal. I aim to portray a sense of power and sensuality through the use of pose, wildlife and symbolism, these themes have offered me the opportunity for a rich amplification of fantasy and imagery that i feel would not be possible working with the female figure alone. I am especially attracted to the theatrical and use vivid colours such as bold reds, and highly patterned surfaces to suggest strong sexuality and the exotic and feel that the use of intricate pattern helps to retain a sense of femininity and decadence. I hope to create a surrealistic atmosphere with elements of psycho sexual tension.

Axolotl Gallery

I have just come across this new gallery on Dundas Street, Edinburgh and am really excited by the kind of works they are promoting, they are championing new artists/ recently graduated artists from all over the world and are particularly interested in figurative works and works that are narrative in nature, check out Kirsty Whiten's large scale paintings, they are incredible! soo I have written to the gallery along with some images of my work in the hope that they may consider me for any upcoming exhibitions... fingers (and toes) crossed!
