Book ***OUT OF PRINT ***

ANOTHER WORLD Paintings 2017-2021

When my former art promoter, Max Laniado, asked me to put together a book covering the past few years of my life making art, I didn’t hesitate. Personally, writing this book has been both a cathartic reflection and future focused experience at once. The book has five chapters, one for each year from 2017-2021, and is a fully illustrated journey charting my practice as it emerges, develops and evolves. ***OUT OF PRINT ***

Reader comment - “Fabulous luscious colours - these paintings do take me into another world. I would love to see some at an exhibition!”
