Little Canvas Wanted....

After having my artwork on display at where I work, my assistant manager made a request for a special heart to be painted onto a small canvas.

The background is a wash of baby blue and I have painted the heart in acrylics layering it up using a few different reds and white. I've given it a textured approach finishing it with a small daisy in the centre. I wanted to give it an extra touch so I glued some delicate little beads all around the edge. 

I'm really happy with it and so is he! Simple but effective :)

More symmetry paintings...

I love the outcome I've been getting with these paintings. I have also tried out a unisex idea as most if the things I do are very girly and for the females. I have done a black and white silhouette idea which works really well :) welcome any comments about any of my work... Thanks :)

Birds in the City

I have been doing some stitched pictures with my bird prints. I call these particular ones 'Bird in the City'. These pieces are quite abstract as that was the originated appeal of the prints I created. I love abstract and as these aren't totally abstract because you can see what it is, it doesn't quite make sense in the way in which they perform to the viewer. It is very odd to be seeing such a large bird poking into what looks like city buildings.

TU at Sainsbury's Design Brief

During my time at university we were given a design brief from TU clothing at Sainsbury's. We were to design a range of autumn patterns for either toddler boys or girls. I chose toddler girls to design for and wanted to use paisleys and squirrels as my motifs to create them. All my designs are produced using cutouts of coloured card and here are my favourite designs.
