Good Parenting, 2025. Oil pastel and thickly applied silver paint over a digital image. Framed, 73 × 53.5 cm. Recycled frame · 10% to charity.

Everything was a toy to her then, even the food. I nearly turned it into a lesson. I painted it instead, so I'd remember the moment I chose not to.

About the frames: my frames are mostly second-hand, rescued from charity shops and sometimes the rubbish pile. Small scratches, scuffs, fading and light damage are intentional: a nod to the past, and to the millions of images people have chosen to display in their homes to communicate who they are. The recycling may show. That's part of what makes each piece an original, and part of the story. Small print
