My two works are in the top 7% of entries.
Wish my people luck as they move into the next and final round of judging for the shortlist.

Wish this lady luck! Iris has been submitted to the Jackson's Art Prize for consideration. Let's hope these new judges like her as much as the ones from last year liked Doris.

Latest work. I used my fingers to apply the paint to this one. Lots of paint, lots of swirls.

This is the start of a commissioned piece. There are a ton of feathers in her costume, and no doubt the end product will look very different when it's completed - but so far, so good.

I wasn't sure if I was going to get into the studio today, but I carved out some time this afternoon and this person was the result.

For those wondering, I use Holbein Gouache on Yupo paper.
This one is 11 x 14 inches.

This is such a great/fun idea! If I had a child and lived in MTL, I would definitely sign them up.

Alongside many other artists, I'll be exhibiting a few of my works at the upcoming RWS OPEN 2025 at Bankside Gallery in London, UK. If you are in the London area, make sure to pop by and see the show. It runs from March 7-23.

Thanks Sonia!

For this piece, I went with a Vincent Van Gogh inspired palette.

My medium is gouache with an acrylic base, as it allows me to build up some texture in my work. I typically paint on Yupo paper, and this piece in particular is 11 x 14 inches.

Thanks Nikki! That's lovely to hear. E.S. is one of my faves, so there is no doubt an influence on my work.

My Doris was shortlisted for the Jackson's Art Prize last year. It was a highlight of 2024 for me. I wasn't able to see the exhibit myself, but my UK family did. Doris was sold to a London based collector during the Jackson's exhibit at Bankside Gallery.
