Apologies for my absence lately. Things have been incredibly busy and while I may appear to have disappeared, I have been working on two new series.
They are;
1. Eastern Treasures:: This is based on my photos from my recent trip to China but with a twist. I am westernizing them whether this means changing the colours, medium or style. The reason for this is not because I do not LOVE traditional Chinese art, but simply that I am trying to create something unique.
2. World Collide:: This is something I have been planning for a very long time. Here is where it came from... when I look at someone or meet someone, I don't see race or colour, I see a person. I truly believe that we are all equal and genuinely forget that some of my friends are of a different race. So, my idea is to create lots of paintings and drawings of women (which we all know I love) in different types of traditional dress and backgrounds. e.g. an African woman in a Chinese dress. It's difficult to explain but you will understand once you see them. I literally finished my first drawing of this series a few minutes ago.
Let me know what you think.
