About Me

I am an artist working & living in lovely brighton. My paintings are mostly based on the thoughts & feelings I may be experiencing at a particular time, quite diarylike in their execution I guess. I use alot of text in each piece usually, writing direct onto the canvas or whatever surface it may be. Luckily for me my writing is very tiny, so it is quite a challenge to decipher, but I like that, that if the viewer takes the time to really look into the pieces that they might be rewarded...go check out my deviant art page too :)I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Mostly scribbling in my sketchbook to record all the day to day happenings, everything from the glances of strangers to my own thoughts & feelings they all infiltrate back into my pieces so I am constantly noting things down physically or mentally...going to see bands in cool venues Dancing to indie and hip hop tunes in dark clubs is when i am at my happiest, if you know me you know this is an understatement!!! wearing sparkly jewels, nice frocks and tutu skirts- i'm all about the frou frou Ballet & our tap dancing troupeheading upto town to see new exhibitions, eating ice lollies, Collecting sparkly cute things, Boys in eyeliner :), Catching up with my lovely friends And of course,spending time down on brighton beach. Sitting on the pebbles, watching the sea has to be the best thing about living here, I will never take it for granted...

I'd like to meet:

People that are smiley. You might be interested in my work *smiles* or just art in general, drawing people, painters, scribbler's, poets, performers, muso's.....agents and gallery owners most welcome of course ;) Or peeps that just want to say hello, please do, I like meeting new people so long as you don't bite...
