Acrylic on canvas. I was inspired by a photo from a beauty magazine. I titled this painting, "Before the Stage" as I feel it shows a girl who has just made herself really glamorous and gorgeous, and is looking at herself in the mirror just before she is about to go on stage to wow the crowds. I have enhanced her eye make up, giving her very large eyelashes. 16/05/11

Acrylic on canvas of the English singer-songwriter, dancer and actress, Pixie Lott (Victoria Louise Lott). This photo was of Pixie in one of her Lipsy playsuits. I just loved the colours of this photo, so that's why I've painted it! 01/09/11

Acrylic on canvas, of Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth as the characters, Miss Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, of the novel Pride and Prejudice, written by Jane Austen. I have always wanted to paint this, as I adore Pride and Prejudice, as do many others. 16/02/11

Acrylic on canvas, of Johnny Depp as the fictional character Captain Jack Sparrow, from the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. This painting turned out to be more of a challenge than I first anticipated, but I'm very pleased with how it turned out. 22/02/11

Acrylic on canvas, of Prince William and Catherine Middleton (Kate). This is taken from their engagement photo. Prince William and Kate got married on 29th April 2011, at Westminster Abbey.

Acrylic on canvas. This is one of those moments when I am looking through a free beauty magazine that I picked up, and a photo jumped out at me, which I just had to re-create in paints! I absolutely love the eye make up on this picture, bright shocking pink eyeshadow, with hints of purple and red; and the thick black mascara and eyeliner, making the eyes grab your attention from across the room! 20/06/09

Acrylic on canvas of Philip. Especially painted by request for a christening present. This is the first time I have painted a baby, but I am very pleased with how it turned out! 22/05/09

Acrylic on canvas of Roman. Especially painted by request. 14/01/09

An A4 sized acrylic on canvas. I have named this pop art portrait 60s Chick, as her hair, eyes and pale skin remind me of the fashion of the 60s. I was inspired to paint this portrait back along, when I saw this image advertising fashion. I started this portrait about a year ago, but only recently was re-inspired to finish it. I find the finished result to be very striking, and her eyes really stare at you! 14/04/09

Acrylic on canvas of my friend Carol. I painted this especially for Carol's birthday. She is a big fan of Pride and Prejudice, so this is why I have painted her in a Georgian dress, like they used to wear. Carol is now on the search for Mr. Darcy!! 20/11/08

For Sale! Acrylic on a postcard size canvas of Marilyn Monroe. The sequins show up very well on this image, although they are infact clear sequins that only glisten in the light, to give Marilyn a touch of glamour!
