Don't Mess With Us!
This duo with attitude painting is part of a series, which explores the more aggressive and violent side to humanity. The work was influenced by recent media reports on the rise of gang culture and crime in our cities. The use of the bull dog head replacing the human face is intended to give character to the figures, while refraining from giving them their humanity.

I studied art at Eastbourne
College of Arts and Technology in 1997 and in 1999 I went on to study a
BA Hons degree in Design. I have always been interested in painting
and since early 2007 she has been working as a professional artists
specialising in Oil painting.
My work is mainly figurative, often with an element of surrealism;
exploring the relationship between people and place in urban and
natural environments.I
am interested in capturing emotions within my work; it is the human
figure that becomes the focal point in my paintings and it is the
connection that the viewer makes with this figure that brings the image
to lifeIn recent
work I have been looking into the aggressive and violent side of man's
nature; pictorially combining the male figure with animals that are
perceived – through their involvement with blood sports - to be
aggressive.
