Creating a commission: a personal and bespoke artwork

By |2024-12-21T16:42:27+01:00December 21st, 2024|Art, Artist Life|

Creating a commissioned artwork is always a deeply personal and rewarding journey for me.

What My Paintings Teach Me About Life

By |2024-12-15T11:50:49+01:00December 15th, 2024|Artist Life|

Take the lips of my muses, for example. They may seem simple—a mouth, perfectly shaped—but they’re anything but straightforward. The lips are created through countless layers.
