IDK (2024) - This acrylic painting (120 x 100) is one of my earlier works which gets the name “IDK” from the fact I have no idea how I painted it. It’s my favourite painting till this day as it is the only painting that makes me question how it was made.
The second image is it hanging up in my uni house in our conservatory. (Photo taken by GoPro)
Last weekend @realartsschool hosted our first ever treasure hunt @nationalgallery , in collaboration with @athenaartfoundation . It has genuinely been so much fun both learning about and thinking of creative ways to engage with pre-20th century art. I also finally put my graphic design skills to use creating these treasure hunt maps and I even liked it. 🕵🏻
Thank you so much to everyone that attended, you really made it special. As always, we couldn’t have done it without the amazing @olli3lliott . We searched for clues, made new friends and learnt about everything from stolen art to what witches put in their potions. Our final task was to take a photo recreating one of the paintings in the gallery…

A bothy is like an old cottage out in wild where campers can use it for shelter if the weather is really bad. I have been to a bothy or two in my life, had some funny times in there.
Thank you to the amazing @buy.koji for gifting us jeans to customise this week and talking to us about their creative process. Huge thank you to @kapetcafe for the lovely drinks too. We loved this session and seeing what you guys created. ❤️
Next weekend we will be taking a trip somewhere different - stay tuned for our announcement! ⭐️

“The Encounter” - 04/26
100 x 100
Acrylic Paint and Markers on Canvas
This painting is about an “encounter” and experience of a person. The left is the start and the right hand side is the end of the encounter.
The concept is periods of time in thirds. So each third of the painting reflects a different time period of the encounter
There are tones of references regarding key moments which probably look random which are found on these “shelves”. The “shelves” are meant signify memories.
