 Under incredible amounts of stress and upset I created this portrait in one evening and finished in the early hours of the morning.
Made using words I needed to express and ants to symbolize death and decay this portrait represents my anxiety, panic, fear and distress. |  This painting represents the crushing and sickening heartbreak I went through when I first fell in love. His beauty contrasted with the sickness I felt as my heart broke.
The image is painted with inks over layers of memories (bus tickets to see him, cinema tickets, receipts from dates).
The eyes in the painting still remind me of how it felt to see his perfect blue eyes for the first time.
Previously exhibited in London and Manchester this piece in now in private residence in Kent |  A portrait of Benedict Cumberbatch primed with a collage of notes from my previous job.
If you look closely you can see key words and doodles from when my mind would wander as I would take notes in my last job.
There I would think about nothing but my paintings every moment of my day, thus making me not the best recruitment consultant in the world! |
