Art is in the eye of the beholder and so too are the images that inspire. My work varies from painting, drawing , sculpting and photography. I get my inspiration from artists that I love, things that surround me, my family and my imagination.

Clay canvas

Today I went to an art workshop where I learnt some fabulous painting techniques. One of them was using slip (very wet clay) , PVA glue and acrylic paint. Basically you mix them together and smear the mixture onto the canvas to create whatever textured image that you desire. I will post the photo's tomorrow as my phone won't seem to allow me to insert photo's. So stay tuned!
