- About Me and my Creativity.
- I am a painter who paints with a philosophical eye. I am a colourist in my work and consider light and dark a necessary in each piece I work on. It's duality which exists within every aspect of life. Composition is important as this is the narrative aspect in any given work. Painting with dress pattern templates acts as a metaphor for the human body. It has neither been pieced together or seperated which means it can be static or it may have had a past or will have a future.
Many of the pieces I have worked on so far are based on Shakespearian plays and some particular scenes have been captured.
Nature plays an intergral part with in the work and symbolisms are held with in colours and motifs.
I mix the abstract with the decorative. But have found of late some impressionistic tendencies have crept in. My work is constantly evolving and at the moment I am on the point of evolution in my work right now.
Even though I would like to sell my specialist paintings so I can financially keep my family I am reluctant to sell these at the moment as I am aiming for my own first solo art show local to where I live.
- Likes and Dislikes
- I love Surrealism, Pre-Raphaelite and Romantic art. And illustrators like Arthur Rackham, Aubrey Beardsley, Alan Lee and Dulac.
I love reading but having graduated from a BA Hons in Fine Art this summer I have kind of given reading of big thick texts a back seat. Painting obviously.
Music which varies from Punk to Trance. Ecology and the planet. Animal welfare, Permaculture, Gallery visits, My children.
I dislike politicians. Only those who are true to themselves. Liars, poverty, inequality, war, the way the world is heading today.

- Are you a disabled person? Does this affect your creativity?
- No, only my sense of humour and inability to always knuckle down to painting. Something else gets in that way.
- Where did you hear about Creative Cafe? If you heard about Creative Cafe from another member please say who as those recruiting most new members will win prizes.
- I heard it from a friend called Jill on Myspace who is on my friends list there.
- Any other News?
- Not at the moment. O ther than I am up for commissions on any of the work viewed.

GYPSY HISTORY MONTH
Above GOGOL BORDELLO "NOT A CRIME"
A gypsy punk band who I love for their utter madness. As does a very good friend of mine.
JUNE IS GYPSY HISTORY MONTH. It is a recently passed bill that has gone through parliament with a particular lord or someone who has been fighting on behalf of the Romany community to have a history month of their own as do some other cultures. So June is the month and various centres will be holding venues and events to host… Continue

Arts subjects systematically eroded
Why are arts subjects systematically being eroded from our educational curriculums?
Is it because contemplating the human condition is not necessarily fiscally rewarding? Or is it because producing a population of free thinking individuals might result in (heaven forbid) an outbreak of pacifism?
"...the mind is ripe for something more than the benign joys it allows itself in general." (Andre Breton: Manifesto of Surrealism)
"Thinking is always the negation of what we…

Curation...an essay
This essay was written back in March 2007 the night before deadline. Love the pressure. I have omitted images because I do not have permission from any of the artists I know to display and some aspects of this essay have been cut too. There has been an update on the Saatchi naming of ‘your gallery’ to online. I will leave it to the reader to research images of what galleries look like.…

- Hi Tina
Lovely to hear from you. I was worried about you when you hadn't been on here for ages. I had a look on myspace and couldn't see you on there either so didn't know what happened. Anyway it is good to see your new pics and hear about your new art group. Hope it goes well.
Yes we will have been open for a year in a couple of weeks. The time has flown by on Creative Cafe.
Hope to hear from you again soon and Happy Halloween.
Bye for Now
Jill
