I usually have a small window of where i want the image to sit on the background. kind of depends on playing with density / weight of colour and interaction with the embroidery and background

The painting process is always a fun mystery to me.. an then it never comes out the way you expect it when it dry's too. it's addictive

The blue bleeding through the green. a lots often lost behind the white cardboard in the frame. if you have a piece of mine feel free to open it up, plenty of surprises are underneath.

Every once in a long while i'l put the works against each other to see whats goin on. usually when i finish a work i frame it an put it out of site until i have to see it again.

Behind the scenes of making the Phlox works. slightly chaotic but they needed the energy

The making of “Always keep the lid on the Play-Doh” - the matte colours of the thread, an just the general chaos of it reminded me of Play-Doh, the reason i titled it “Always keep the lid on the Play-Doh” is a reminder to always try to explore. I very rarely know what colours i’m going to use, i try to do this as if im painting on the fly. if you leave the pottle of Play-Doh open it gets dried,an you cant use it anymore. it’s also just a good classic reminder, shits expensive.

A Playlist of a couple of tracks i listened to, either in the studio or whilst framing. for such a potentially chaotic series it still really had a nice chill soft music feel to it.

A wee walkthough i made for some online clients from the wildflowers First Pickings show (November 2025). I go into a little detail on the works and you can see how they interact with the light.
