It’s been a while since I painted in Brick Lane, a hot spot for street art in East London. A few years ago I created a mural on a double wooden door that was entitled ‘s(P)ray’ and depicted a woman with a graffiti mask holding a spray can in her hand (as if she was praying).

It was time for a refresh that illustrates my current style! I asked my friend and talented artist BK Foxx to be my model for this new artwork. The portrait shows her looking straight ahead, confident, wearing her mask and surrounded by colours. A beautiful and vibrant portrait of a street artist.
