Unusual ‘Tape Technique’ painting. Relaxing process with finished result.

My ‘Tape Technique’ is a funny little technique which I’ve found is abit like Marmite… people either love it or hate it! 😆🙈

But I read this quote once by Alexander Calder once and it’s always stuck with me:

“Above all, Art should be fun”

… and that’s exactly what this style is 🥰🎨

#artprocess #acrylicpainting #abstractart

To give you a little background, I started painting originally for stress relief and therapy when I suddenly started having seizures 3 months before I was due to graduate from a Physiotherapy degree! My whole life turned upside down as you can imagine. But I believe ‘Everything happens for a reason’ and I couldn’t imagine my life without my art now.

In 2018 I was discovered by a Publisher, Artko Ltd, who supply framed prints of my work to shops throughout the UK. My bestselling pieces are my ‘Love Trees’.

My work is currently in various shops including John Lewis and Dunelm and links to these can be found below…

I loved watching this! No one really understands the layers that go into a painting until you do it. Beautiful art piece!

Video number 3 watched. I have found much to love and a few small things I don’t but if we are painters, we all have ways that are just ours. We do not change to copy, we see something new that makes us rethink how we do things sometimes but we might adjust our way which is different again to yours. Your colours make me happy. It has been a while since I found someone doing something I wanted to watch. Thank you.

Oh you’re gonna think I’m a real big pain. So what is the ratio of pouring medium water in paint if it’s a trade secret all understand if you don’t want to share your recipe. I started painting about five years ago and I’m not an artist at all but I enjoy painting. When I’m painting Timeflies, and before you know it been painting for hours. I stopped painting about a year ago but when I saw your creations I was inspired. I’m in awe of the way you designed your “artist she shed”. Your studio is charming, cozy, creatively efficient and well thought out.
