Hello, and welcome to Our Newsletter Issue #5!
It is a pleasure to have you here.
Each month I like to spend some time reflecting on how the month that has come to a conclusion has been.
As such, in this issue I pause our journey through the Finding Closeness series, as I instead would like to take this opportunity to share with you some of the work I've been doing throughout August.

Alongside my painting practice, I strongly cherish any opportunity to try my hand at different types of making. Throughout August, I did just that.
Recently, I've been playing with some new paintings that focus primarily on colour and composition, I'll share more about this this in due course, but the reason I bring it up is because at the core of these paintings is a desire to experiment. In some of these new paintings I wanted to incorporate some relief prints. I wasn't sure how to go about this, but after quite a bit of research I found a way. Before printing directly on my painting I did some trial runs, and honestly, these little experiments had me so excited! They really reminded me of the Greyhound prints I had done in school (links to pics at the bottom of this newsletter if you're curious). As such, I have decided to let these roses have their own life as stand alone pieces. They are available to collect, and soon I will be uploading some proper photos onto my website. I'm so excited about these because it's opened up a potentially entirely new body of work, so watch this space!
Throughout August I've also been working digitally by reimagining some of my drawings that are available through my website. Here again, the practice has centred on playing around with colour and composition so as to complement the new paintings that I've been working on. Eventually I would like to make some of these digital drawings available to collect, but I'll share more information on the release of these when I've ironed out the details.
