Emergent Being: New Work!
Paranoia is like mud
pouring down upon us,
creating dark corners inside us,
destroying our light.
Our world is restricted,
contained, confined –
Divided and locked within itself…and yet…
Tectonic Shift
I’m literally running out of colours as I run down and exhaust my paint supplies. However, I have lots of black. Haven’t we all? Love black! 😍 Why I’ve not worked in monochrome before baffles me?! I love it! Simple with just a blush… Continue Reading “Tectonic Shift”
Ghost of a Chance
I love the textures of nature and this is like a garden for the eye. My son could see all sorts in here. There’s a ghost of a chance we might make something out of nothing. Abstract art is great practice for the brain… Continue Reading “Ghost of a Chance”

Its time for the rebels to fly! Enquiries welcome 😉 I have since edited this piece and it now looks like this…
Earth Power Rising: finished artwork now available! 😅

SURRENDER
This painting was done over a few months with many reworks and lots of daring obliterations, which I will document for you later. I was particularly inspired by DeKooning for this one and his relentless layering and the building of texture.

GRACE UNDER PRESSURE
I started this painting on Christmas day 2017 and it emerged chunk by chunk until the new year.
It felt like a very primal painting to make, it was very spontaneous and I spent very little time editing. It all came out fully formed and I enjoyed the childlike splodges of paint enough to admonish myself to leave them be!
Grace Under Pressure
The paint is still drying and I am pleased enough with this one to show you straight away. Acrylic on Canvas 91x123cm 36x48in
