Reunion - Fear and Relief

This piece was created to reflect the emotions surrounding some of the tragic events being created by the ICE organisation in the USA. Imagine having your child stripped away from you, the fear and pain that would run through you. And then imagine the relief and joy when reunited. This painting presents that tender reunion: a mother kneels to hold her child close, faces pressed together in a moment of quiet relief. Rich blues and warm ochres define the figures while layered brushwork adds texture and depth. A misty background with a chain‑link fence, drifting feathers, and a distant officer marked "ICE" frames the scene, introducing a narrative of separation and protection without overwhelming the intimacy in the foreground. Soft light washes focus attention on the connection between the two figures and the subtle symbolism around them.

Fruit Shopping

Fruit Shopping is my 5th oil painting after transitioning from Acrylics. My focus was on capturing the contrast between the soft, natural look of the fruit and the sharp, shiny light on the plastic bag. I loved how the plastic both protects and slightly distorts what's underneath, creating interesting highlights and textures.

Oils on foamboard.

Home boy, your Mother is waiting

A story my Grandfather told me of his first day in the pit aged 12 years old. Walking home that first day with his Fathers and Uncles, when his Father put his hand on my Grandfathers shoulder and told him he did well that first time underground, but his Mother would be waiting and watching for him to come home., and as they turned the corner to their street there stood his Mother waiting for him and to see him safe as all Mothers do.
