At the moment my painting seems quite central, however, the main focus was to deepen and brighten colour. Once dried I'll be working on perspective and distance which should hopefully fix my central problem

Close up of new paintings started in the new semester of my final year at university. I love using bright contemporary colours and have been inspired by the painterly techniques practiced by Artist Peter Doig

Third year assessment Semester 1. Studio Shots

I have been very interested in symbols of non European cultures, particularly native American. The hopi indians used decomposed and reconstructed images of serpents and birds (which were considered scared) and used them for supreme objects of worship. I have been inspired by texts composed by Aby Warburg.

PETER DOIG. What is a valid subject for a painting? So inspiring

TateShots: Lowry. Worth while studying if your interested in the industrial revolution. I'm interested in expanding my knowledge on British industry and how different artists responded.

TateShots: Gary Hume. I love how this artist talks about painting, and how by using simplicity he can transform ordinary objects into something spectacular.

Collage experiments from 2nd year Painting, University of Ulster. i enjoyed manipulating my photography by using mediums such as spray paint, enamel and acrylic paints. I'm drawn to bright, artificial colours as I feel this represents our species existing separately from nature.

I love exploring the world around me. As an Artist, I'm fascinated with industry and invention and how humans distinguish themselves separately from nature by using them. We belong with nature, yet we are also apart. We live in a new, man-made environment that is bubbled inside something more ancient than us.
