TASTY TREASURES
Acrylic mixed media memory scape on wood
24” x 20” | 61 cm x 51 cm
Visiting Rome was an amazing experience, I could have literary photographed every single inch of that city and I still would have felt that I had missed something. There is just so much culture to experience and so many little details that deserve your undivided attention. I like playing around with these unfamiliar little details you find in a foreign city. Italian fod is one of my favourite things, the local chefs in Rome can certainly serve up some tasty treasures! In my mind the lady in this painting has just sneaked some of these tasty treasures from the special vault and is trying to secret them past security.
When I’m visiting a place I always feel like time is too short, I have this hunger to see it all and of course never can. Rome was so overwhelming, you would need a lifetime to explore it all! I was only there for a few days and I made sure to take as many pictures as I could during this time. Working with these images to create a piece like this allows me some extra time to explore. It takes me back there, in my imagination I can explore this beautiful city to my hearts content.
My paintings help me to stay connected to the places I had to leave behind and I hope they will evoke similar memories for you and inspire you to reconnect to the beauty of the world around you.
I want to help you relive happy memories of familiar places and inspire you to visit and explore destinations you would otherwise never have thought to visit. I invite you to be nostalgic with me and (re)-discover the world through my eyes.
These pieces convey the heart and soul of the city, I am fascinated by the urban landscape and the people that populate it. I love that unique viewpoint you have as a traveler, you start noticing the most mundane, everyday objects. These essential elements make up the living, breathing and evolving ecosystem of a city.
In my work I combine my love of photography, painting and travel. I merge many photographs into a singular image that, at first glance, reflects reality, but there is a little mystery there. I encourage you to explore, let your mind wander and your imagination run free!

IS THE ARTWORK SIGNED?
Yes, all original artworks are signed on the front in the lower right corner. They also have their title, date, artist name and a signed certificate of authenticity on the back.
IS THIS PAINTING READY TO HANG?
Yes all my wood panel pieces are all ready to hang, most have a wire on the back or, for larger pieces a set of eyelets that enable flush mounting (flush mounting is highly recommended for pieces larger than 48”x36”). My paintings are not framed but the sides are painted black so they show beautifully without a frame. If you prefer I can arrange framing for you, fill out the form below for a quote. Because framing adds weight and volume during shipping you may prefer to have your local framer do the work.
