Reach
Breaking the elements of the human hand into components similar to a medical muscular model, the artist has created a bright way of viewing the subject of the painting. The contrasting colours of each hand intertwining while reaching towards each other, creating a suggestion to other topics.

Chloe Mini Me
By stripping the human face into components of shapes, the artist has created a different way of viewing the highlights and shadows that curve around the features. The striking eyes stare back at the viewer, challenging their perception. This ‘mini me’ version of Chloe further simplifies these shapes to bring them into a new medium.

Studio Christmas Window
This Christmas window was inspired by hanging baubles ad the decorations traditionally surrounding Christmas. The baubles were filled with patterns to make a bigger impact on the window, as well as to make it more visually striking from the outside. With this being a first floor window, it was easier to complete this drawing on the inside of the window.

Ask Italian Christmas Window, Oxford
Ask Italian created an open call for window artists to create their Christmas displays. Using previous Christmas line drawings from the Lined Collection, and Ask Italian Christmas motifs, the three and a half pane drawing was created. The drawing encompassed the whole of the front window on the busy George Street, Oxford. A design was also added to the fire escape and front door.

Self Face
This piece is an original self portrait combining six coloured pencils and a paint pen outline. An increased amount of time was spent on planning this piece due to the few colours that were being used, and the avoidance of putting the same colour blocks next to each other. The use of two darker colours allows for the suggestion for shadow and hair. The outline helps to define the shapes and contours of the portrait, as well as separating the colours further.

Platinum Jubilee

Fire of my Eye
The heat of lava rolls of this piece that stares at you from across the room. This was the first piece of this style using coloured pencil, and it was found that there was more control by using these than initially thought. The more blocked style of the iris is quieter compared to painted pieces, however this still hits you with emotion. The pencil also allowed for better detail in a smaller piece.

Blue Eye
This was inspired by the piece 50 Shades of Blue, focusing on one particular element – the eye. The intimate size of the canvas allowed extra detail to be painted around the layering of the paint, and the mixed colours within each patch. With no recognition for whom the eye belongs to, it sits in a sea of blues and greys.
