My mother often tells me this story:

She would pick me up from school to find that I'd had an art lesson earlier that day and whether she would like to take my masterpiece home.

Apparently she always knew which one was mine as it was layered thick with paint and would take days to dry.

Funnily enough that is still the case thirty years later 😄

Although I still love creating bursts of colour using lots of layers and thick paint, my process has become much more refined (just about)! I predominantly work with acrylics, gold/silver leaf, and heaps of glitter just for good measure. The result is a glorious explosion of colour and joy.
