New work on the go

I'm addicted to using Derwent Inktense and watercolour paper at the minute. I've been doing a lot of portraits of famous lesbians, feminists, and all round strong, independent women. I'll be continuing this series of work until I feel I've done all I can with it.

I'm also taking a rest from the enormous self-portrait - 'After Frida' - that I was working on. This will be taken up again whenever I am feeling it again.

I'm hoping to start a series of portraits - as yet untitled - that will depict people on the outskirts of the mainstream. I'll be looking at queer communities, alternative communities (punks, goths etc), the BDSM community and possibly the disabled community. If anyone would like to volunteer to be painted/drawn, or knows anyone who would, let me know! I'm always looking for interesting muses!
