Light, Flight
Oil on canvas, 150x190cm

​I recently exhibited this painting at a solo exhibition and it was by far my most popular painting. Visitors enjoyed spending a lot of time in contemplation with it. Being so large, it has a dramatic impact, yet there is a peaceful energy to the painting. People repeatedly said it made them feel good! Please note, the background is white - the photo came out with a slightly blue tinge but it is actually white. This painting is inspired by my motivation to seek higher spiritually and to be enlightened, while acknowledging that in life one also needs to be held by those around them. Although I spent many hours discerning how to proceed with this painting in the process of making it, in the end it seemed to paint itself. I love that!

Where The Light Gets In
​Oil on canvas, 120x150cm
Sold


This painting is inspired by the moment that comes when you think all is heavy and dark and perhaps a bit lost, and then you experience light from an unexpected source. It could be that the dark clouds have parted to reveal light that was there all along or it could be that the nature of light is to persist in finding the crack where it can illuminate an otherwise overcast space. This is all metaphor for life experiences and I hope this painting can reference those feelings wordlessly and with more grace than my description! Certainly, when I exhibited it, the viewers were moved by its presence and gentle yet powerful energy.

When Light Falls Like Rain

​This painting was very much inspired by music and the way in which music can be a gateway to the soul. I am interested in the way that classical music can elevate our being wordlessly, yet universally. I intentionally left the centre of the painting untouched and allowed the paint to frame it in such a way as to draw the viewer in, almost like being led in a dance, shedding layers of thought until only the moment is left. This painting took a long time to reach it's conclusion and I came back to it several times over the period of about a year. I feel that every session I invested in it has paid off, whether they were hours spent painting or meditating on the composition and journey of the piece.

Luminaire
Oil on canvas, 100x120cm
Sold

​Luminaire is a painting to be absorbed by. I paint for the encounter between the artwork and the viewer and with the sumptuous colours and depth of layering, this is a painting to really get lost in. Among the darker fields of paint, there is a luminosity to this painting that draws you in and can lift you up.

​Illuminata
Oil on canvas, 100x120 cm

I paint for the experience of painting and for the experience that my work can evoke in you, the viewer. Being highly sensitive, I found art incredibly moving from a young age. In particular, the reaction I sometimes have with a really great painting where it is like my insides are saying yes! How can paint on canvas open hearts? Yet it does. There are no words to adequately explain what that is, but it is true and wonderful and I love that it is a shared experience. This is a painting to immerse yourself in. To soak in the colour and the journey of the composition and be present for whatever experience will come.

​As Light Falls
Oil on canvas, 100x120cm
Sold

Artistically, I am concerned only with light. How light is framed by our personal clouds. How moving through and beyond our clouds reveals an eternal and benevolent source of light. Each of our views will be different, according to our filters and life experiences. But I believe abstract art offers us a meeting point, where we can gaze upon the same arrangement of colours and marks and find truth. Find each other. Feel moved, poetically and indescribably.

Let The Joy
Oil on canvas, 100x120cm
Sold

​Let The Joy is inspired by the huge sense of release and seizing of life after overcoming something major. I have tried to capture the essence of that energy that says 'yes - let's grab life now!' My work is always abstract, having developed a language using paint that speaks more of my perception of truth than just words can. I hope viewers of this painting will smile, whether inside or out and feel uplifted.
