My work is surreal,unique,often not understood or appreciated by conventional installation centred galleries. I use acrylics, make up, ink, pencil, pen, collage, whatever i feel is right for the work, never do prelim sketches it tires the idea, and call on my unique and fantastic imagination to conjure up self portraits with 40s actress hedy lamarr who i look like with mini versions in our hair, women with women as hair, victorian men with hidden heads and duck feet and manwoman combinations. I am my art and its very me.

Artists I like

Myself, rene magritte, george jardine and distaste for modern installation art of one skull with a feather and a dead tv in a box style and harsh painted nudes eeeee yuk!

Interests

Making little silly sculptures from sugar packets in cafes random dancing brunette worship
Persian cats the way they sashay 30s films especially the dream like odd man out, mooching, customising clothes, vintage cars, poppies, fun, jumping, giggling, yoga, shopping
