ABOUT MY PAINTINGS
ABOUT MY PAINTINGS
The process is all absorbing and once started each stage of my design has to be completed before the resin cures - which happens very quickly. It may take several layers of resin and therefore very many hours, days, weeks of process depending on how complicated the piece is.
For me its all about the unknown - I can push the work in a certain way using the epoxy resin medium, beautiful fine pigments, silicone, substrate, layering etc. However, in the end, it is the chemical combinations and sometimes unpredictable reactions that determine the end results of my design. A beautiful combination of colours and texture. at
Each painting is unique because of the medium
resin and pigments used.

COLLABORATIONS
Bernadette and Jeanette
In addition to building a body of work for my website and clients, I have recently been working in collaboration with Jeanette Clarke, whom I met in 2017.
I was in the process of changing to a different art medium and I was very excited about where this was taking me.
Jeanette had been a successful sculptor in South Africa and our mutual enthusiasm for our craft and art in general formed an immediate bond between us. We decided to work on some projects together and also work towards an Exhibition and Gallery showing. I have also experimented using resin on Jeanette's beautiful female forms to very good effect and this has given another dimension to our work.
Our pieces compliment each other in a beautiful way and would be well placed in any setting.
For collectors, home decoration or office settings.
The Nedbank South African Charity Golf Day
I recently supported the NSACGD 2018 with a painting from my Ocean Life Series.
The Cape Town Opera UK
A wonderful event raising money to support young African opera singers. Jeanette and I worked on producing a beautiful combination of our work.
