What does a ten minute contour line drawing from a live model and nature’s colour palette offer? A way for this sculptor to explore landscape painting. The image transfer process I use is akin to lost wax casting, the original drawing is gone forever and only the painting remains. 24”x18”

Symbolism, subtle and not-so-subtle. Handmade rope dolls complete with breasts and polymer pink roses are my commentary on what makes a woman ‘valuable’. Once assembled 160 of these will form two nets, my take on how women lift each other up but sadly can also hold each other back. #abstractart#contemporaryart#conceptualart#ropesculpture#abstractfigurativesculpture#artinprogress
I do love the female form although I think my landscape painter friends are having an influence. This is another ten minute drawing from a live model transferred to board and then painted with acrylic. 18” x 24” #abstractfigurativepainting#contourlinedrawing#comtemporarypainting#landscapefigure#imagetransfer
Finally! I just finished the last sculpture for November’s exhibition. The math doesn’t lie, I made a total of twelve of these which adds up to twenty-four relief carvings. At six feet each that’s crazy! #abstractsculpture#contemporarysculpture#paintedwoodsculpture#figurativesculpture#reliefcarving#woodsculptor
Something just a little different, 18” x 24” image transfer and acrylic on board. I’ve been doing some experimenting with my 20 minute figure drawings. Transferring them to board and then having fun with colour. #abstractart#contemporaryart#modernart#abstractfigurepainting#figurepainting#contourlinedrawing
Right now my fascination is with the why of the form and the story of why it was created at this specific time in my life. Why this image? Why this style? Why this medium?
You would never know it, looking at this picture, but those sculptures are three feet tall and wide. Context changes everything!
