Creating and developing wearable art
As a fulltime artist my style has changed over the years from portraiture to abstract and into the worlds of cubism and surrealism.
One of my goals is to expand my early works into the world with original wearable art, from t-shirts to hoodies and more. As the product range expands I will be adding more designs all from my original oil paintings. All products are fulfilled by Amazon for quick delivery and easy returns.

Amma Gyan, of the House of Amma, came up with an idea for an exhibition, in Watford, where the artists would be invited to present an artwork based upon a book, or quote that affected their lives. My book was ‘Mountain Home – The Wilderness Poetry of Ancient China’ by David Hinton. I carried this book everywhere and fell in love with Tang Dynasty poetry. I then began the exciting challenge of learning Classical Chinese. Soon, however, art took over my life, and when this book came to mind I wanted to do something different.
The image is of a paper rose that I created from peach crêpe paper. Along with the rose I sculptured a rock, a vase and a pot out of clay. The rock was a hint to the mountains and the pot reminded me of the wine jugs often featured in the poetry. The vase was there to hold up my crêpe paper handmade rose. The art piece was sold and went to a loving home as a gift; and yet the rose lives on in this design that means so much to me and contains within the treasures of Tang dynasty China.
These designs come in a variety of colors. Price and style may vary according to Amazon.
