Letting Love Flow

This watercolour and black ink pen painting was inspired by something very profound for me related to my father who passed away in 2000 from throat cancer. I never thought he loved me. It is as simple as that. As I grew up, I saw a man addicted to alcohol who was in a greatContinue reading “Letting Love Flow”

Divine Love

This oil painting took me years to paint. I have a deep love for Egyptian theology and the love story of Isis and Osiris. In 2008, this painting was originally inspired by a broken heart. I think I must be a big romantic! Anyway, I fell for a guy who was a very different faithContinue reading “Divine Love”

This oil painting was sold to a dear friend of mine who loved it the moment she saw it. This image was inspired by a young lady leaningContinue reading “Woman in Water 2012”

Watercolour Woman 2012

I was inspired to create this painting, my last painting from 2012, by a photo of a blond woman on a tattoo magazine. She had that retro cool look and I loved the way she peered out from the magazine to watch me. I tried to capture that look in my painting. IContinue reading “Watercolour Woman 2012”
