| B.A Hons Fine Art: University of Plymouth
Graduated: 2006 The retrieving of the unfamiliar from the ordinary is an important aspect of my work. I have photographed objects, edited and painted them; I know their origins. Part of the delight of the process is what other viewers see in them. The method of colour selection is a varied one. I am usually simply influenced by colours that I find most appealing, but sometimes the nature of the objects will play a part in the choice. My paintings use a combination of dots (produced by dotting a pen) and flicks and splashes of paint, the computer playing half the role in the placement of dots and my hand playing the other. I have spent my time obsessing over line, shape, colour, form and process. All images are taken digitally and then placed into Photoshop where they are sometimes cropped into bizarre landscape-type canvasses or left in their more traditional form. Then, colours are removed, pixels are made more prominent, selected colours are added again. The results are painted, crossing the daunting gap between traditional art and technology, a process that I revel in, but many traditional painters fear. Artgallery rating
