This new painting is inspired by a workshop I went on where the model was giving off vibes of pushing back. Each time I walk across the park I’m struck by the teenage girls who have so much confidence and challenge the average. I just wanted to see if I could capture this in the […]
I often wonder what we all see when we look at the same scene? Do we see different colours? What is the first thing that catches our attention? The assumption that we all of us see the same is unlikely. I find as my lifestyle and age changes, I tend to focus on people and […]
