Brand Ambassador for da Vinci Artists Brushes Germany

I’m a confessed brush addict. I’ve worked with da Vinci since 1991 and have over 400 brushes, each one used! I help them develop and test new brushes, and promote their brushes. They are artworks in themselves – da Vinci make nearly a million by skilled hand each year, with another two million made by their unique technology. There is a shape and fibre for every application. Trust me, I know what I’m doing!

ARTWORKS

Title: 28th August 2023

It often takes a while to find myself again after a major show. This was the first painting I was happy with following No Straight Lines 4 months prior.

Title: 28th April 2023

Although begun in late 2022, the greater realisation of this work took place after the devastating floods of Anniversary Weekend in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland and Cyclone Gabrielle in Matau-a-Maui Hawkes Bay.

Title: 24th July 2022

My signature is always on the back of the work, yet here the red ribbon careering across nearly 3m of canvas loosely spells my initials EW. Sometimes you have to shout from the top!

Title: 6th February 2022

This unusual colour palette was influenced by Wassily Kandinsky’s Three Elements (1925) and used in two works for my Lollygagger exhibition at PAULNACHE.

Newsletter February 2022

Delightfully, I’ve realised this newsletter reflects a part of my practice where elements come together to make a whole.
