One Way to Put It

We say things all the time without really thinking about them.

I hope you are well.
Do I need to attend this meeting?
I thought there would be more time.

One Way to Put It is a series of original abstract paintings combining fragments of everyday language with colour, texture and gesture. Removed from their original context, familiar words can become funny, uncomfortable, ambiguous or unexpectedly poignant.

Some of the phrases are mundane. Some carry a more personal meaning. But what they mean when you encounter them on a painting is ultimately up to you.

Supplier

I send postcards directly from my studio and I have carefully selected Printumo as the supplier of my canvas prints.

Limited Edition

I only have a limited number of print options available on my site, and periodically remove prints from sale when I put new ones up. Be sure to order your favourite today.

Customer care

Please reach out if you have any questions. I will do my utmost to make sure you are happy with your purchase.

"Owning a print is more than décor; it’s an invitation to share in a story, a place, and a memory."
