Lined
Collection

This collection of line drawings and pen drawings takes inspiration from previous works and basic shapes. Each of the drawings are contained in a single sketchbook, creating its own collection within a tightly bound cover. These drawings range from single line drawings with a Christmas theme, to shapes containing gradient lines flowing like lava. The drawings from this collection have inspired later drawings and artworks.

Configuration Eight

The Configuration Series came from Project 365, where the aim was to create a piece of artwork every day in 2021. This piece was the eighth and final part of the series, where the watercolours were explored in a new, abstract way. During the creation of this piece, there was a determination to stop due to not enjoying the creation process, however watercolours were continually applied in varying shapes to fill the page. The additional layers of swirling lines highlighted the depth and light in the colours used.

Configuration Seven

The Configuration Series came from Project 365, where the aim was to create a piece of artwork every day in 2021. This piece was the seventh of the series, where watercolours were explored in a new, abstract way. This seventh piece took inspiration from the first of the series, Configuration One, with similar curving and bulbous forms. The watercolour paint pooled in these forms creating a varying level of depth in the mountainous tones.

Configuration Six

The Configuration Series came from Project 365, where the aim was to create a piece of artwork every day for 2021. This piece was the sixth of the series, where watercolours were explored in a new, abstract way. This piece takes up the space of the base materials and combines the work of Configuration Two and its inspiration of the planets, and Configuration Three with its original use of fine liner pen. The additional layers of the fine liner create flowing feeds from each of the forms, and planet-like rings.

Configuration Five

The Configuration Series came from Project 365, where the aim was to create a piece of artwork every day in 2021. This piece was the fifth of the series, where watercolours were explored in a new, abstract way. There was an attempt at not having an aim with this piece, however throughout the motion of putting paint onto paper a plan started to form, as well as a chain of curved pieces, much like a chain. The addition of a partial washed background and deep black lines juxtapose fine white scars across the page.

Configuration Four

The Configuration Series came from Project 365, where the aim was to create a piece of artwork every day in 2021. This piece was the fourth in the series, where watercolours were explored in a new, abstract way. Within this piece, there was a beginning of an abstract shaped worked, however this turned into a flowing clouded piece with varying depth of colour. Additional fine black lines highlight extreme curves and joins separate elements together.

Configuration Three

The Configuration Series came from Project 365, where the aim was to create a piece of artwork every day in 2021. This piece was the third of the series, where watercolours were explored in a new, abstract way. This was the first piece that involved a secondary element of black fine liners, which have added extra depth. Varying width lines draw your eyes away from the abstract blocks of colour, and into free forms.

This piece was the first of the series, where watercolours were explored in a new, abstract way. There was no aim with this piece, and it was based off of intuition and feeling during those moments of painting.

Feet in Threes

Feet are a part of the body that are not generally explored. The different styles and mediums of each of the three canvases highlights that not everything is the same and people are different, from their perception to their feet.
