I N T E R V I E W

In July 2021 my friend Chrissie came to film me paint and interview me. It was a really fun process creating while she filmed. I appreciated the chance to be filmed while painting, I sometime film my process but this was so different to how I usually film. We then filmed a part two when she came over and interviewed me about my art.

I created a short video of the day which I filmed and  that you can watch below.

I started by taping sheets of manuscript paper down, slowly started to paint and add layers. Being filmed made me reflect and think more about what colours I was using and where they were being placed. After building layers, I decided it was time to play with splatters.

When I first started painting, a lot of my work had splatters because I love the unknown and unexpected effect it adds.  You don't know if it's going to go across the page or stay where you've intended it to be. I think there's something so beautiful about that.

I named the art Breathe because the process of creating felt like space to breath and relax.

Chrissie was amazing to collaborate with and I hope you enjoyed watching the video she produced.

Please leave some thoughts and encouragement in the comments, I would love to hear from you!
