The artwork will be on show at the Women's University Club in Mayfair, on July 5th 2024, for the celebration of the King of Ashanti's Silver Jubilee. A private function held by the King's nephew, with speeches about the King's collectibles which are held at Windsor, the V&A and The Wallace Collection. I will be giving a talk about the artistic process that is involved in the artwork. 
 
The artwork was shown at my solo show IN FLIGHT, at The Hyde Gallery, Chiswick London and
The Other Art Fair in London, March 2024 - presented by Saatchi Art.

The Birds of Pipa 1 is a painting that captures the essence of the Brazilian coast. Part of the Brazil collection, this artwork is a testament to my passion for this beautiful country. The painting showcases a single hummingbird that injects a burst of color, set against a backdrop of acrylic wash & vibrant botanical work on birchwood. Showing the delicate grains in the birchwood in contrast with the vibrant oils of which the hummingbird is painted. 
 
A vibrant, nature-inspired work. The birchwood panel is set on a 24ct gold-leafed wood panel. Creating not only a painting but a sculptured piece of art.
