Current works... ive been enjoying the process of creating these pieces, they've evolved over a few weeks. Gradually building layers and textures, adding marks and a where needed a little sparkle 😍 The first canvas is a WIP. The second recently finished and the last 2 canvases are a pair, created as a partnership to fit together in any combination to create a unique changeable piece of art. #acrylicpainting #inksandacrylics #abstract #abstractpainting #abstractart #wipartwork #markmaking https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-iRjXnSUC/?igshid=1nbkpxvvptbwj

I decided that I'd add a 'meet the maker' type video to replace the blurb on my website's About Me page and to add to form part of my intro video on YouTube channel. I admit I felt very self conscious doing this even though I was recording alone in my studio 🤣 #steppingoutofmycomfortzone #meetthemaker #meettheartist #recordingmyself #aboutme #thisisme https://www.instagram.com/p/CNS1Mf1ng7F/?igshid=11me531qw52tq

Just for fun this afternoon I painted this bold coloured whimsical owl in watercolour, acrylic and ink. Still a few highlights and light details to add but I am enjoying where it's going. #whimsical #whimsicalart #owl #boldcolours #cutecreatures #wipart #watercolour #acrylics #inkart https://www.instagram.com/p/CNSv5fsHfJh/?igshid=1tysgxjamktb6

Playing with layers and textures this afternoon. The colours added to the WIP very much reflect the weather and my emotional state of mind today. #abstract #acrylics #paintingfeelings #emotioninart #testure #scratchingpaint https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXcampHT1A/?igshid=q20mrnb8ai6j

More playing with acrylic paints, inks and gel pens today. Experimenting with mark making and embracing the contrast with a limited palette of just blues, greens and yellows (+ a dash of white and black) 🎨 ... surprisingly not as easy as I thought 🤣 I really missed dipping into all my big bold colours!! But I am pleased with the feel of this colour combo too. #abstract #abstractmojo #contrast #yellow #green #blue #markmaking #funartnotfineart #explorecreate #limitedpalette #experimentalart #experimentingwithcolor https://www.instagram.com/p/CLz2jNcnDRw/?igshid=1dh0oj3n10r0m

Playing around with lines and colour... Can you tell I really enjoyed this activity. Shame the edges weren't sharp when I removed the tape but I love the colours and various lines. I like elements of them all and am finding it really hard to pick my favourite. Which one are you drawn too? #abstractmojo #colours #lines #patterns #vibrantcolours #abstract #acrylics #gels #inks #funandart #myhappyplace #inthestudio https://www.instagram.com/p/CLxCT76H8fT/?igshid=1e6r9rc9rwdr7

Yesterday I felt drawn to revisit something I started a while back. I began with no plan, other than the desire and intention of continuing covering this vibrant celebration of ink and watercolour in doodles. #doodletodesign #inkonwatercolor #patterns #celebration #intuitiveart #wip #funartnotfineart #meditativeart #joyofdoodling #shapes https://www.instagram.com/p/CKlWPEnH001/?igshid=19jyj2kr4t1sr

What are you doing today? Have you taken time for self care? to relax, reflect, regroup or explore your creativity today? I'm taking a few moments away from busy life, being needed by others and being 'switched on' to breath, stop and focus on ME! So here I am... sketching fairies and drinking fruity tea 🥰 #selfcare #selflove #amomentforme #mumbreak #houseworkcanwait #sketching #drinkingtea #timeforme #whatyoudoing #reflection #rest #relax #regroup #breath https://www.instagram.com/p/CKTxupInhif/?igshid=gbx7tphgecu
