These paintings have been created for the Astor Bar. The large high wall spaces spoke to me of drama – the fabulous superlative of opera and the visceral thrill of theatre. And so I created works inspired by:
3 Operas: The Magic Flute by Mozart; Tosca & La Bohème by Puccini
2 Plays by Shakespeare: Antony and Cleopatra & Hamlet.
The starting point for each work, and indeed for all my work, is colour. Through the colours, a series of images appear and float as if in a performance.
My background is in Art History and I have a BA Hons degree from the University of East Anglia. I currently teach History of Art for Adult Education and will be devising Art History lessons for the studio.
I have also created a pack of Divination Cards based on colour, a handbook to accompany it and I offer card readings.
