BEHIND THE WORK

INTRODUCING GILL





As an artist, I am fueled by a fusion of figurative, portrait, and abstract styles that manifest in my vivid and textured works on canvas. My art is marked by strong brushwork and unique integration of mixed media, especially visible in my emotive portraits that aim to capture meaningful moments and tell stories through nuanced gestures.

After a ten-year break, (due to a family crisis) Incorporating both traditional techniques and digital art, I explore and combine compositions, textures, and colours to evoke heartfelt emotions with genuine sincerity a renewed sense of purpose has reignited my passion for painting, reigniting my deep connection to the vibrant world of art with immense happiness and fulfilment.
