Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling.

The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right.

Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.

‘Dissolve Your Boundaries’

The sun finally came out for long enough to get the cones out and take some proper documentation of my mural outside Tramway. Full pano below ❤️

#Glasgow #Mural #PublicArt #Community #Commission
Panorama photo of a 70m long mural wall. The mural is bright and colourful and consists of figures, plants and other objects representing the the community of Pollokshields in Glasgow. The phrase ‘Dissolve Your Boundaries’ runs throughout the wall from left to right.

Last year I was commissioned by Tramway to create this mural with and for the lovely people of #Pollokshields on Albert Drive.

Huge thanks to Glasgow Gurdwara, Glendale Women’s Cafe, and the young people of Albert Primary for helping identify themes for the design.

#Mural #Glasgow
Photo of a mural wall showing a young woman learning on a ledge looking out of a the window. There are lily pads underneath her in blues, greens and pinks. The world your in black sits bottom left of the photo in the mural. Above the woman on the top ledge there are books with titles on their spines such as Food, Plants, Stories, Friends, all things that make up a community. Photo of a mural wall showing a Sikh woman sitting cross legged on the floor reaching for a plate of food. There are pits and pans stacked behind her in the window and there is also a mug of chai tea at her feet. There is a potted house plant to her left. The colours are bright and the style graphic and illustrative. Photo of a mural wall showing a young woman lying down in the ground with her arms behind her back. It’s bright and multicoloured style. There is a sky with sunrise and some misty clouds behind her. She is lying in front of a tree. There are yellows greens pinks and blues making up the background.

I got to paint this uncanny #portrait of my pal as #RobbieBurns, who he’s playing in @wonderfools.org’s upcoming play The Kelton Hill Fair. A mad brief I found very fun and refreshing. You should go see it in #Glasgow next week!
A photo of a man standing in a sunny street with tenement buildings behind him. He is holding an oil painting portrait of himself as Robbie Burns, like a copy of the well known painting. Photo still if a woman painting a copy portrait of Robbie Burns, with someone else face. The canvas is leaning on a wooden easel and the artist is half in shot off to the left hand side. Her paintbrush is touching the nose of the portrait. Portrait of the Scottish poet Robbie Burns. Finished copy of the portrait of Robbie Burns changed to be someone else’s face.

My copies of AD Magazine arrived in the post yesterday! Such a buzz to see my #illustration on the front cover 🙌

I loved chatting to @drrachpayne.bsky.social about the intersection of #art, #education and #gender for this issue. Thanks so much for having me ❤️

#Interview #Feature
Photo of the front cover of a magazine with a colourful illustration showing two women, one in a wheelchair getting their hair clippers by another figure standing behind them. They are in a kitchen. The style of the illustration is graphic and bold. An open double page spread of a magazine with photos of artwork and an interview style feature.

I sold this #painting and her forever home couldn’t be more beautiful 🙌
Photograph of a living room with parquet flooring, white walls and mid century furniture. On a sideboard there is a large colourful painting of a woman leaning on her elbow. There are also other prints leaning against the walls on either side of the sideboard and there is a plant in the left hand side of the photograph.

#Charcoal
Black and white charcoal drawing of a woman with shirt hair looking over her shoulder. She has a strap over her shoulder and she’s looking directly at the viewer. She looks slightly worried or confrontational. The portrait is enclosed in a portrait rectangle.

Back in the #studio today. I’ve got a really fun and whimsical brief that’s going to take me right back to my grubby little #oilpainting days.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay ❤️

Here’s my #blogpost I wrote last year about the body of work I created for @uofglasgow.bsky.social and their ongoing campaign against #genderbasedviolence. This work is more important than ever as misogyny is given an even bigger global platform.

'The Ham' by Manet is one of my favourite paintings in the whole world.

Lucky enough to have it just down the road at The Burrell Collection.

A still life painting of a ham on a plate with a knife resting on the table in front of it. It has a thick gilded frame and is hanging against a dark blue wall.

I've started doing #TheArtistsWay by Julia Cameron, does anyone else have experience in overcoming #ArtistsBlock by using this book? I've only just started it but already finding morning pages so useful.
