Simply, I love the human form…as a Sculptor (in a previous life and on hold for now) I favoured to sculpt men, but it seems as a Painter (current life) it is women? Maybe it is just the medium of oil lends itself better to the softness of a women…. I dunno but challenging as it was … I like “Latitude” and she makes me smile and empowers me to do more when I look at her, as it seems to do for others. Also, as a 50 something, it’s always good to know it is very easy to mix it up. Turn things on their head and maybe, just maybe; it will look better. So, on this note, I would like to say I have taken up Yoga!

This painting is me dipping back into my roots to see if anything from my 15 year old self being taught by an amazing, talented old college lecturer (and later friend Ian Lowe) on a Tuesday night; how to use only a pencil, with my mom in tow. I was way too young to attend such a class, and I feel I need to say at this point; I obviously got the creative gene from her.

This special time was amazing and so important to me, as I was struggling in formal education. I didn’t fit in there; but here - I did! It was such a gift to finally be able to breathe, learn, understand and appreciate form and traditional techniques. Foundations that enabled me to go on and make Art.  Latitude i.e. Freedom of Choice...well, once you know how!
