From photography, colour selection, placement & planning, my background of textiles & interiors influences my art. I use my own photography for my work, from frequent visits to fishing lakes & carp ponds. 
 
Working with oil paints, each tiny scale is painted individually. I poured washes of water colour oil, over the large linen canvas, for the water to give a natural flowing effect around the fish. I worked the oils on the fish to create a 3D effect with the scales, blending the oil paints to give depth. 
I wanted this piece to have a design element to it with a mix of contemporary & fine art.
 
I love to work on a large scale & make statement pieces for a room. I hope that the artwork brings peace & tranquillity to the voyeur as that is how I feel when I'm at the fishing lake with my son.
