Beschreibung
The inspiration for my art predominantly comes from colours and designs in nature, place, landscape. I strive to create images from the everyday;- building them up with gradual layering, pattern and sometimes random mark-making to create a unified whole. I am drawn to making the everyday magical, lyrical, opulent, alive. I hope my work reminds you that the world can be a beautiful place and connects you with the heart and soul of life.
My paintings and drawings require time and space. I utilise the richness of oils to maximise the interplay of colour, impasto, glazing and palette knife techniques, all of which give a three-di- mensional quality to the surface of the canvas. Creatively, the process involves a balance of letting go to working with my imagination, intuition and embracing the more formal elements of composition, space, depth, tone as the artwork emerges over time. In contrast I create quicker works on paper, some of which link to developed/extended works. Similarly, my drawing prac- tice reflects the pursuit of the expressive mark.
The making process balances memory and imagination of the lived experience. At the heart of the creative process is an intuitive drive. Key elements also include -inside – looking out, outside-looking in, micro and macro views of place. My goal is to create dynamic works that speak to the viewer of the organic process of creating art as well as of a personal connection to place. The drawn/painted image emerges to be engaging, dynamic, bold and/or maintains an ethereal, dream-like quality....evoking a sense of depth and 3-dimensionality;- images within images, stories within stories.
