The Arthouse Oasis News
Thank you for popping over here to this quiet corner of the net. If you could see inside my head you’d see an explosion of ideas, colours, art materials and boobies!
I’m starting a series of body artworks, based around how it feels to have had breast cancer, the good, the bad and the ugly. I’m starting with a whole lot of sketches first just to get a feel for things. These are created purely from my imagination and not taken from actually observing a body in front of me, but that might change. I just feel a driving obsessive force pushing me to draw and paint as fast as I can.
If you feel that someone in your life might resonate with my work please do share it with them. I’m posting on Instagram and Tiktok, but I’m not sure if Facebook is the right platform for this kind of work. Again we’ll have to see how things go.
Anyway, thanks for reading, I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas season and here’s to a warm New Year! xx
