Happy On Brick Lane

March 6, 2024

‘Happy on Brick Lane’ – mixed media on paper 2024.

The woman depicted in this piece was a frequent visitor on Brick Lane in the early 1980s. She fascinated me because she always seemed to be in a world of her own and was very generous with her smiles. If she spoke it was usually to herself. I’ve attempted to show her in the alternative universe she seemed to inhabit.
