I’ve been casting some virgin Mary statues this week. I want to make a few for my living room in an assortment of colours. If you’d like your own to paint or any colour take a look on my website http://www.whitebgallery.com 

I have an exhibition at Wild Bytes Cafe Wolverhampton, who are very supportive of local artists. This artwork will be on show with other works till the end of the month 

I have recently finished my Triptych painting. As yet  untitied.  I have used gold leaf which I varnished and layered more on top which I didn’t varnish. This gives it two different finishes. Using some neon paints for the circles. The peacock butterfly is a recurring image in my artwork. 

Where do you get your ideas from? Is it another artwork, wallpaper pattern, book etc… my latest arework is of Joan of Arc. I had seen a gold statue at Christmas in Paris by the louvre museum. I then saw the Dior spring/summer collection with its tarot and bee keeper designs. I decided to use some medieval stars inspired by the tarot cards. These may have small beads sewn into them. I am going to incorporate some text which will say, she’s more than a lady. I heard this in a Duran Duran song, girls on film. Because she definitely is, more than a lady. 

I’ve started a new project entitled 100 Lisas this is rather self explanatory. I will be altering the Monaco Lisa 100 times. Here’s a few I’ve already done. 

I thought i’d share a slideshow of my new Joan of Arc painting (Incomplete) to show you the process.  Hope this gives more of an idea how I work. I just need to complete the background and add some text then it’s finished

I have just finished my triptych painting, as yet untitled.   Using gold leaf for the background, which has been varnished and then applying a fresh layer of gold leaf to obtain two different finishes to the leaf.  Hope you like it

I’ve been working on a new artwork of Joan of Arc, which I have wanted to do for some time.  I have used some iridescent paints for the halo and for the bronze statue.  I will be layering the background with oil paint and adding some text.  It is a long way from finished, but excited about doing this one.
