I NORMALLY paint withered petals, over-exposed machinery and manic or sleeping dogs but, in this first solo show at Courtyard, I return to one of the traditional subjects of the old masters - the self portrait.
The self portrait is never romantic, it always questions and investigates identity. My portraits are messy and present a lot of drama - the drama of grief, loss, domestic violence and sexuality as facets of my experienced and changing identity. I hope that people will enjoy the painterly quality of the works as well as relate to the themes they deal with.
I work in oil on canvas/ linen.
