Surrey Contemporary Art Fair 16th - 17th March 2019

This year I will be taking part in Surrey Contemporary Art Fair at Sandown Racecourse, Esher. Recently I have been exploring new ideas and developing a more contemporary feel to my work. It has been exciting to paint on a much bigger scale with some pieces measuring a metre square and featuring large portraits of birds and animals. I still enjoy the details and realism that is a feature of my illustration style but now combine this with more abstract backgrounds. Equally I have been exploring textures and patterns and drawing some of this into my backgrounds, layering both and working into the surface of the board. Painting with acrylics and oils allows for some exciting developments as you are often not too sure how experiments will turn out. Watch this space as more paintings emerge from the studio and from my field trips out into the New Forest for inspiration!
Meanwhile, at the art fair in Surrey I will have some of my recent work on show as well as some gorgeous prints on canvas and archival paper. I have also printed some of my earlier work as bigger canvases including Zebra Storm which looks amazing as a big print I hope to see you there! For details please visit the art fair website
