I currently have two paintings on display at Worthing Museum and Art Gallery in Chapel Road, Worthing. This piece, ‘Les Demoiselles’ references Picasso’s ‘Les Demoiselles D’Avignon’. I was inspired by the dressmaker’s forms in the theatre department, arranging them on paper to recreate the group of figures in Picasso’s painting while trying to capture the colour, tone and feel of a mid 20th century illustration. The other painting in the show returns to a favourite theme of ‘chairs’ which I’m exploring more and more in my latest work.

Juliet Pannett Award
In September 2015 I exhibited with the West Sussex Art Society at Arundel Museum. The exhibition featured small new works. I had the honour to win the Juliet Pannett Rose Bowl Award for my painting ‘Stack’. Here is an image of the painting, which is in oils and measures 20cm x 20cm. I am working on a companion piece. Both these paintings are part of a larger collection of work on the significance of chairs.
New work
After a difficult year I have started to make artwork again and this painting is the first in a series. I am working in oils on Tintoretto board, compositions created from observation, from an archive of my own photographs or from ‘found’ images. This painting is 40 x 50cm and will be offered for sale when I have a group of work completed for exhibition.
A new site
This is a new site on which to show my artwork. Gallery pages will be added as work is completed. The initial gallery pages show paintings and drawings created prior to 2014.
