Fable

Description

Oil on canvas
91.5cm x 61cm

 

 

I am a Durham based art historian turned representational painter. Working in oil, I strive to represent light and texture in a way that imagines others complexly. While I enjoy portraits above all, I find subjects which interest me in many diverse and unexpected places.

Most of all, I’m drawn to moments where the light is exciting and beautiful, and where the people are likewise complex. I love color, and the subtle variations of color in lived experience that lenses inadequately capture.

The moments I enjoy creating the most are the illusions that art and oil paint specifically allow. The little lies of color and shape that at the same time feel so real. That reality is just a game of light that exists for you in every moment, and that there is so much truth outside of those boundaries.

 

I’m originally from the USA, but I came to the UK for university, and am so excited to be back here with my husband and pets all these years later. I received an Art History and Mediaeval History degree from St Andrews, but also a subsequent Art degree from NYC.
