I use bold colours instead of the normal skin tone colours to create dimensions on his face.

I am a UK based artist and a mother of 3. During the 2020 lockdown and in the midst of loss, despair and uncertainty, art found me and I found solace in my art.
As a child I always had a passion for drawing, painting, scribbling on any surface I could find. But it was not until October 2020, after I was gifted with a drawing table from a dear friend and subsequently gifted with canvases, that I decided to enrol onto the Bold Colour course and the rest is history.
I love studying people, objects, nature and translating their natural beauty onto my canvas, capturing what my soul sees.
