NEW YEAR WISHES

“For You, Diamonds & Pearls”.

A new collage work to celebrate the new year of 2026 with beloved Prince in the late 70s+ Vogue model from 1922.

Hello Sweetie

Time to create a vivid, bright piece for winter, something surreal and luminous enough to carry my eyes through the gray months; using collage and a rediscovered print of Matisse, the original white background — once a quiet field of negative space — erupted into a choreography of abstract birds and fragments of nature, paper wings layered with torn leaves and snippets of horizon, each element both in concert and a beat apart, so the composition reads like wind itself, a slow, musical flutter that pulls color through frost, turning cold into movement and the season into a living, breathing moving, melting landscape. That sits especially delicious next to a liquid fire. Charlie Chaplin nods to the past as he watches from afar the young woman on her horse, perhaps she is riding to the top? For a better look. The vulture’s view is dazzling as he glides to see the parakeets in an unusual place. Look closer to see the jewels hanging as if magically balanced and suspended in the air.”

Tested metallic watercolours on a David Bowie portrait. The pigments create a delicate shimmer in light—perfect for winter glamour. Metallics layer over the wash to highlight cheekbones, collars, and costume details; from some angles the shimmer reads lunar, echoing Bowie’s otherworldly presence. From afar, it’s a refined glow; up close, the pearlescent granulation reveals texture and layers. At this festive time of year, I love to create new Glam Rock pieces to get me in the dancing mood.

Glam Rock has always been about exuberance, theatricality and a bold celebration of identity — qualities that feel especially resonant during the holidays. This season’s new works draw on those hallmarks: vivid colour palettes, glittering textures and stylised figures that fuse vintage stage glamour with contemporary edge. I explore contrasts between the intimacy of studio portraiture and the spectacle of performance, using oil, collage and metallic leaf to capture the flash and drama of the moment.

A Quiet Space to Talk

Friends — you know how some artworks feel like old friends: familiar, honest, the kind you return to again and again? That’s what I’ve been making. New pieces are arriving that lean into filmic light, strange little moments from the natural world, and those uncanny, quiet things that live between seeing and believing.

If you’ve collected with me before, you’ll recognise the palette shifts and the way narratives gather at the edges. For those thinking about starting a collection: the new limited editions and originals are small, precise investments in atmosphere — works that change with the light and the life you give them.

I’ve been working across oils, watercolours and mixed media, and a few experimental photo pieces that layer memory and reality. Most are intimate in scale but rich in presence. Prices are fair and accompanied by provenance, and I’m always available to discuss framing or the best way to place a piece in your home.

If something calls to you, let’s arrange a private viewing or I can send high-resolution images and condition notes. I’ll hold works for serious collectors and can offer guidance on matching a piece to a room or an existing collection.

Thanks for the steady curiosity — it keeps the work honest and the practice moving. If you’d like to see what’s available this month, tell me a size range or mood and I’ll pull a few suggestions for you.
