In this series I worked in black and white so that I could push composition, texture, visual language and painting in a freer style, without the seductions of colour.

I learnt the beauty of grey in its various warm and cool tones, patterns, contrasts, soft veils of white and the chalky opaque. Most of all, I was able to paint with energy, intuition and allowing for a rawness.

Witch Kitchen is a collection of swirly potions, mysterious objects and magical apparatus. It’s an exploration of different textures, shapes and gentle patterns.
