About

“Texture of the Sin” is my nome de plume for this form of my artistic
expression.

I have long held an interest in photography but fought with an equally long held view that I had no artistic ability….. which started with a comment from a teacher at school.
However when a period of illness steered me away from my usual more active pursuits I found myself with time on my hands and a need to fill it…. and so I came back to photography.

With no formal training and very little expereince, in mid 2008 I took up nude photography using myself for a model. This was partly motivated by my desire to challenge my own perceptions about beauty and being over 40 but also to confront my scars (both physical and emotional) from surgery for breast cancer.

This has now become more of a desire to experiment with the human body as art and explore shapes, shadows, light and texture in different ways. And tell stories.

For me this is part of my life’s journey learning to express the love and honour I have for myself as part of the divine.

I have enjoyed forging new friendships, being mentored by talented artists, developing my skills and growing my artistic senses.

My work here is a product of all that :)
