Last Night's Big Reveal
The special moment when I presented a new dance inspired painting to the dancers that inspired it, the wonderful Jeff Tarpinian and Mia Amorbaila, at Incognito Dance’s monthly social, last night in Putney.
After an intensive couple of months of dancing and painting, it was a real joy to reveal the first of a new series of work, at Incognito Dance's Monthly social in Putney last night.
The artwork in question was a particularly special piece, inspired by the wonderful Jeff Tarpinian and Mia Amorbaila who have done so much to encourage and support me as a dancer, teacher and artist.
They didn't know I was working on this painting of them and this is the moment they saw it for the first time!
I will soon be sharing the time-lapse of this painting, along with other dance inspired works, all of which will be on display for the first time at my upcoming exhibition 'Performers in Paint' at Putney Library from the 14th June - 15th July, in collaboration with my friend and fellow artist Stella Tooth

What’s the next best thing to Bachata dancing?
Painting it! Here’s little behind the scenes, of another work in progress, for my upcoming 'Performers in Paint' exhibition this June.
Inspired by a beautiful moment from a Bachata show performed by the MG Elite Team at the Los Angeles BKS Festival in 2015.
I've let my imagination run wild, creating a graffiti background with ideas bursting out all over the place! What do you think?
This is one of a few dance themed works I'll be showing, alongside a mix of other performer related pieces. The exhibition will also be featuring artworks by my fellow artist and collaborator Stella Tooth.
