In the 50s....
My art is generally figurative and focuses on people in the community and the changing habits and styles that define a period.
I have a love, in particular, of the 1950s, and these paintings are inspired by the images that I use as reference, from the home movies taken by my father as I was growing up. A lot of these are from holidays on the Coast…so exciting for a small country girl. I also use discarded and random black and white pictures of anonymous people and faces to create images that most can relate to in some way. Capturing a fleeting moment in time.
With so many more evocative old images for me to explore...this series is ongoing .......
