Framed Work

This self portrait depicts a solitary figure in a kitchen preparing a meal.

'I’m a self taught artist, interested in documenting the everyday and the mundane, tasks we do day to day. A lot of my paintings are semi autobiographical, suffering from anxiety and depression, I find putting these feelings into paintings help. I use a combination of different perspectives and patterns to help create a slightly unsettling feeling with an underlying touch of humour. I use a muted colour palette, limiting the use of white, opting for ‘unbleached titanium’ to mix my colours with instead to create a subtle tones and a matte finish, wanting to resemble early twentieth century British artist which I’m influenced by in both my art and my personal life.'
