Natural History Museum

New work coming soon!

With sources and imagery taken from the Natural History Museums vast geological collection, the work will have a scientific reference feel and will focus on the form and colours featured in these specimens. 

Urban Outfitters - Paris Galerie Lafeyette Canvas Wall

Urban Outfitters for the opening of the Galerie Lafeyette pop up store in Paris created two walls made completely of artists canvases. Galerie Lafeyette is a womenswear, housewares and gift pop up store and will be open for around five months, the art work from this pop up store will then be used to form a permanent installation in other Urban Outfitter stores. 

I was asked if i'd like to be involved with making a piece of work for this project. There was a specific size of canvas I had to work on, a particular colour palette to stick to and quite a short completion date. This was an interesting challenge as I rarely use canvas so had to very much get used to the fabric very quickly, I also rarely use acrylic and household paints and the limitations of an un-stretched canvas (Urban were stretching all the painted canvases on site) was very interesting. I do feel happy with this piece of work, I think it's quite different from other work I have previously worked on and less detailed but it was very enjoyable to paint. 

Who knew a little bit of quartz could get so big!

Commission Winter 2012/13

I love this silk piece, the colours are incredibly vibrant and the tone is so varied. This piece was commissioned last year and was completed in January. I have since received photographs of the piece on the wall of the business and am very pleased the client was so happy with it!
