This year’s themed collection of paintings centres around the word; Petrichor. Petrichor is the distinctive, earthy smell associated with fresh rainfall on dry earth, usually immediately after the rain has stopped.
My objective is to capture the fleeting movement of rain hitting and dancing across rocks, or being windblown across the beach or rocky landscape. Working in layers with acrylics and oils, you can see the build up of textures that almost mirror the photographic works I also produce.
I began my artistic journey as a photographer and after working as a journalist/editor, I went back to LJMU as a mature student to do a Masters in Art & Design. I graduated with distinction in 2019.
