Hi, I'm PlumsPix, a Portsmouth, UK-based artist known for my striking colour palettes, bold 'Happy Day-see' daisy art, and abstract expressionist paintings. Maybe you are wondering, "Why PlumsPix?' … well … my nickname is Plum!
MY PLUMSPIX ART JOURNEY
From selling my art prints and abstract paintings, and having exhibited in several art galleries since 2022, including Yellow Edge Gallery, Imagination Gallery and exhibiting at the annual Portsmouth & Hampshire Art Society show and I have continued to strengthen my presence in the local art scene. I supported the LOOKUP Portsmouth Street Art Festival, by taking part in a big paste-up jam on Southsea seafront.
Plans for a bigger PlumsPix art presence are underway!
A FASCINATION FOR VIBRANT COLOUR
As a colourist, I deliberately employ the power of colour to create visual depth and tension. I have always held a fascination for colour and its effect on our emotions, this encouraged me to study Graphic Design and go on to set up my own graphic design business in 2000.
HAPPY DAY-SEE PAINTINGS
My 'Happy Day-see' contemporary art series, are original paintings of huge daisies with street-art edge – backdrops can be inspired by nature, grids, or even the style of my favourite artists.
Taken from those paintings I offer beautiful, high-quality Giclée Art Prints.
Daisies evoke an emotional response and my daisies aim to encourage hope and "Strength to thrive against all odds" … just like Daisies … which can thrive and grow practically anywhere!
COMMISSION A DAISY PAINTING WITH A BACKDROP THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU!
ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST PAINTINGS
In my abstract painted landscapes, I work in a spontaneous, intuitive way by weaving lively, textured layers of acrylic paint – using various methods; art or decorating brushes, palette knives or even … kitchen utensils like dough cutters! I enjoy the process and how the work evolves, but wish the layers of paint would dry quicker! The graphic designer in me leans towards incorporating gridded elements.
DIGITAL ART AND PRINTS
I also digitally (not AI!) create a range of 'Happy day-sees' and experiment with combinations of vibrant colour and various forms – achieving complex and intriguing graphic results. They sometimes inspire my paintings. These are available to scale up to any size, so do get in touch if you need some large designs for your space or creative project!
