Girl With Sarong

Gauguin inspired, painted on Tapa cloth from Fiji, I wanted to create tropical paintings that reminded me of island holidays in the sun with aqua waters, sand & blue skies.

3 Girls on Beach

Gauguin inspired, I sewed together about 3 hessian coffee bags with stamps and prints on them and stretched them, painting my tropical beach with all the things I love about island living - the shells, flowers and bright colours. Beads are sewn into the canvas of the Hibiscus stamens, shells and glitter are glued into the painting and the coffee grpahics are highlighted with glitter. This painting is very summery and HUGE.

Girl with Red Sarong

Gauguin inspired. Tropical island dreaming. Painted on stetched hessian coffee sacks with th coffee graphics highlighted in glitter.

Girl with Blue Sarong

Gauguin inspired, tropical beach & islander girl painted on Hessian coffee sack for the texture. The graphics, which I really love, are highlighted in glitter. These paintings have a rustic look & feel and are very summery/beachy.

3 Girls with Cowrie Shells

Gauguin inspired - large painting, I particularly like this one. Painted on stretched Hessian Coffee sacks with the graphics highlighted with glitter. Tropical dreaming. Painted in summer, heat inspired.
