Working in layers, experimenting with different media I focus on interpreting nature's patterns, . My paintings are created with layers of acrylic paint, glue resist and more layers, accentuating lines with sharpies and occasionally using stencils and spray paint. In the last few years this has led me from tangles of neurons to geographical vistas to creatures floating in space.
Having recently completed a series of ten more realistic images of woodland scenes incorporating birds, trees and fairies in a narrative sequence to accompany related poems, I have now studied and painted a series of tree paintings focusing on the patterns of their bark and trunks. Since the beginning of the pandemic I have been inspired by my succulent plants which have been blooming and flowering on my deck in spite of everything!
