GrimTree 2023
Painted in Procreate. Brushes from Classic Library.

I painted this in 2023. For context, I was a new mother in grief. This painting represents hope amid despair.

 

GrimTree was one of the first pieces of art I made using Procreate, and I’m still getting to grips with the potential of this amazing software. It’s given me confidence to create where before, I’d be worried about wasting material and taking up too much space, or generally getting it wrong.

 

Technology has given me creative freedom. ♥

Personified

A slice-of-life comic

Personified Comic by Shona Clingham

Personified is a slice-of-life comic about various portrayals of the self: outwardly, a purple mass (mess?) of matter, a sunflower on the head as a measure and symbol of growth and decay, and within, a cast of characters: aspects of the self, past and present, oppressed and suppressed or not, and a personal take on interior life versus social masks.
