People and portraits

Extroverts get their energy from being around people. Which might be why I love painting them, not just portraits, but of people filled happenings, and fabulous fashion too.

Julia Clancey

My loved for this fashion designer’s style, verges on obsession! Now some of my work lives on her bedroom wall, and I own one of her fabulous outfits. These paintings inspired my mantra: Life’s too short for Beige.
