"This project began with my desire to make my work accessible to my friends and followers. I tend to work mostly on big commissions and large projects. It’s great to produce small scale, fun work about where I’ve been and my influences, and rediscover older work again.

I want to make collecting art accessible and open to everyone. As a northern girl nothing delights me more than a bargain, so every so often I release a collection of works, for a limited period, at a very sweet price point.

1998

My first boyfriend was a Jimi Hendrix fan. I made this whilst I was still at Sheffield College, around the time I made my ‘Unrequited Love’ rectangles, the first piece on my retrospective exhibition at Graves Gallery Sheffield.

I did a lot of experienting with acrylic before I started painting in oils at Falmouth College of Art on my Illustration BA (water mixable ones first as I painted mostly in my bedroom in halls). I used a palette knife to make the background here - I got really into textures, layers and text within works.
