Swimming with Diamonds is an original painting on canvas
I use a variety of materials which enable me to make a broad range of marks; acrylic paint, pencils, crayon and spray paint. The use of metallic paint enables me to work with reflected light.
I work organically, often without a clear destination in mind, creating deliberate imperfections. Adding layer upon layer of abstract marks and scratches, colour and depth, imbuing the work with life and energy, gently vibrating in the vast shimmering pools of colour.
Part of my goal is to create a personal language of marks and gestures, that feel both personal but also universal. An intimate hand writing of abstraction.
I aim to create a harmonious space, both energetic but also meditative.
The paintings have an awareness of their own edges and boundaries.They glimmer and define, and ultimately hold their space firmly and gently.
I have used the phrase 'glass house' in some of the titles. I was drawn to this image because of the balance of strength and fragility, and felt the metaphor captured that perfectly.

"I try to create beautiful spaces.
I see my paintings existing like music or poetry. There is not a clear narrative in the paintings, instead they are visual experiences to be felt on an emotional level. I believe in the power of ART to lift and transcend. Using an abstract language of mark making that is both personal and universal.
There is a primitive sensitivity involved in mark making, and what these marks communicate to us. Sadness happiness joy frivolity grief. Or maybe a humanity.
I believe that visual language has a potent power, like music or literature. And it has the power to lift, communicate and transform.
An imaginary floating world is created with hidden spaces, things half-shown and suggested. Like Rorschach inkblots, the viewer is invited to find and interpret their own symbols in the ambiguous visual field. Clouds, reflections, elements of landscape and the coast have all been observed.

Using pattern and mark to create rhythm, I use a range of materials; paint, pencil, fabric, collage, metallics, and build up my paintings in a very organic way. I overlay layers of paint, mark and collage to build up the pictorial space. This creates glimpses, hidden spaces, things half_ shown, suggested. I use delicate layers of texture, drawing and colour to create an ambiguous space. The image is then worked and re_worked until the image is “found”. Only when a balance and integration is achieved I feel that the painting is finished.

I like to think of them as “visual poems”. This sensual world is one to be absorbed, felt, and enjoyed.
