ROOFTOPS IN MONMARTRE
Late last year I went to Paris for a couple of weeks. From my apartment I did many scribbles of people passing by that may appear here some time but that haven't turned into something 'finished'.
'Rooftops in Monmartre' however has been finished. Inspired by Hopper's rooftop paintings, I worked on simplification and harmony.

TRANSLATING SCIENCE THROUGH ART - Harlequin Ichthyosis
This is my painting for the Translating Science Through Art project. 'Lucy's Wish' is in mixed media and is 75x105cm.
Harlequin Ichthyosis is a very rare skin disease which is very difficult to cope with both practically and emotionally, and though a few casual, unscientific words here cannot do it justice, I hope the painting reaches out.
It was part of an exhibition in London in April where it was picked out as 'Visitor's Favourite', and it will be on show as part of the LifeArc event in Cambridge in November.
