About this artwork

From the time I chose to leave my life behind and go on tour I knew I was going to create artwork about my experience. I had no idea it would be a series of the clown at the time, yet here they are. In this particular painting I combined the traditional clown with the modern touch of the magic behind the show by exposing the in-ear headpiece hanging around his shoulders. This painting was much more about the show, the makeup, the character rather than the situation of the global pandemic that took such meaning in my later work.

About the artist

My work explores creative expression by combining figurative painting with texture, movement and experimentation of different mediums. Working mainly in acrylic and oil paint, I convey the meaning, story, and visual inspiration behind each work. I aim to capture the physical likeness and the uniqueness of the individual. I convey clarity and honesty to the portrait, inviting the viewer to appreciate the fundamentals of the subject. I reveal the individual, looking beyond the surface toward the human condition with empathy to the personal connection I have with each subject I paint. The evident slowness in my paintings acknowledge attention paid to the layering of information, built-up levels of paint, and a complexity of mixed colours which bring the paintings to life.
