Marine Series

Newest painting in progress towards my end of year exhibition





Here are some photos of my current obsession, paintings from macro marine photography. I have been experimenting with oils, acrylics, encaustic and I have been told to try resin. I am planning to continue this style of work for my end of year tafe exhibition, as well as following the same themes in both my drawing and printmaking classes.




Scarface series

These paintings were created after I had a basal cell carcinoma cut out of my forehead on Feb 29th this year. The cancer was 30mm x 40mm x 5mm and left 15 external stitches with a massive scar! Thankfully it's healing well as is my self esteem ;)
