REVIEWS
It was nice meeting Samantha, she gave me a few options as we sat and got acquainted. She gave me freedom to sketch what ever. I opted to draw several settings around the part. I was challenged to press myself in a couple of directions. If this is offered again I'd go. I would like to see a few more participants, that would be a great way for folks to learn, challenge, get to know a diverse community.

The two young ladies (sisters) in the painting are my little cousins. Upon my return to painting, my uncle, their father, requested I create this painting from a photo. The photo was taken at a local burger joint near my uncle's alma mater, Austin Peay University, in Clarksville, TN. They were there attending my uncle's homecoming and the 40th anniversary of his fraternity's chapter, Omega Psi Phi, Rho Kappa Chapter. This is an annual trip for the three of them as both of his daughters attend(e

Hi there, I'm a local artist living here in Winston and I offered to paint a photo prop for my friends' son who was turning one. The birthday party theme: Space! I've never painted anything space related before, so I was a little nervous but mostly really excited to try something new. Jack, the birthday boy, is a bright, happy, full of life little guy. I wanted to capture his vibrance and playfulness in the painting. Armed with a picture of his cake and google images as references, the p

Title or Location: Familiar Hedgehog
This was painted in 2020 during a time where we all reflected on life, ourselves, our connections past and present. Looking inwards as to what really mattered deep down.For myself I used artwork as my own therapy, reflecting on my Grandad's link to the Wildlife Trust and how some day I could give back myself, with the goal to creating a series of works based on woodland birds, animals and insects. The love and joy of all creatures big and small.

This work is one of a collection of works based on the Iron Giant that is now a world heritage site.

The tea party situated in the painting is where we used to have our picnics during the long hot summers of the 1960s.As I got older we used to walk along the planks that were high up just underneath the viaduct and a lot of the planks were miss

Title or Location: Fire Dragon
I've recently discovered wire art as a medium through researching artists who explore memory, as a part of my Fine Arts degree. I immediately found an affinity with it and began to experiment. The dragon is a commission, he is my own design. I started with a simple drawing, built a frame, and then let my imagination run riot - this is the result.
