'I Am The Canvas'

Stephanie and I at a friend of mines Charity Event in Mayfair. For The Sick Childrens Charity.

This is something I always do.

Below are just some examples of how I paint on myself, using acrylic paint. Its sometimes very prominant, but it can also be just a simple serious of dots...Really, wherever my mood takes me.

I combine Art and Fashion as a way of expressing my individuality. And I bloody love it!

I had my first solo debut Exhibition at Gallery 118 in Notting Hill, and above, are the paintings I exhibited.

Those in the primary colours are acrylic on canvas. And, those in blue, black, and white (mainly) are on recycled wood panels in household/domestic paint.

This collection was one I based on the theme of LIFE and BODY, in all its many variations.

I must give special thanks to Gallery 118, especially Robin Saikia and Charles, because without them, this would not have been possible.

I thank my relentlessly helpful friend Jacqueline Nsirim, who came with me to carry huge panels of wood down the road. Whenever my beady eyes spotted it, she was there offering to get splinters in her hands with me.

King Ricci; Thankyou to you, for giving me tins upon tins of domestic paint you found in your shop! ;)

Lola Peach Baxter; Photographer Extraordinaire. Photos were amazing babe! Thankyou!

Victor Orji (Creative Circle Group) & Julian Baschieri-Salvadori - Photography and Filming. Beautiful. Thankyou to you both. You guys Rock.

And Finally Big Thankyou's to Liza Klaussman (New York Times) and Laura Paulini (The Grove Magazine) .....................AND BIG KISSES AND HUGS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME. YOU GUYS MADE IT SPECIAL......................

...................NEXT exhibition, will be based on BLOOD, in whichever way blood can be construed and conveyed, I am going to explore it. OOOOhhhhh I CANT WAIT.

WHY AREA 52???

It took me and my then boyfriend, with whom I had known since we were both 14, two days to drive from L.A, where we were living, to Montana. We were going hiking at Yellowstone on the Canadian border.

Anyway, without going through all the details and waffling on, we drove through many cities, but one that interested me most, was Nevada.

I just loved the scarcity of the land. The terracotta colour. The heat of the stone. And the density of the air. It was beautiful and very mysterious.

I want this blog to be a representation of me and the things I enjoy aesthetically and mentally involving and surrounding Art and Fashion.

It may be things we have already seen, but I reckon it will be stuff most people haven't seen. Hence Area 52. Area 51, is a nickname for a military base in Nevada. But conspiracy has surrounded it as a place where UFOS's and aliens are dissected and researched amoungst other things that are speculative.

So for the sake of speculation, dissection and research, let Area 52 commence. The New Area 51 ;)
