Inspired by the music of my favourite musician - Tom Waits. I’ve taken a combination of lyrics, song titles, album titles and the way his music makes me feel to create a series of paintings. Each piece has the signature device of cigarette smoke circulating throughout the painting - listen to his voice and it all makes sense. Partners, texture, colour all play a huge part in the series, creating depth and a sense of storytelling found within his music. This is no doubt a theme that I will cover again and again.
