Lighten Up

Lighten Up, 2025. Acrylic over a digital image. Framed, 30.5 × 35.5 cm. Recycled frame · 10% to charity.

Not caring if you're judged is its own kind of bravery. I saw it once at an outdoor music event and painted it from memory.

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

The surface catches the light and changes as you move about. A photo can't do that. Get in touch and we'll sort out a visit.
