I am so excited to share these new collections of original paintings with you.  These collectionscontinue to explore my interest in the pattern and botanical shapes.  As in previous series I am particularly drawn to the juxtaposition between the orderly/formal shapes found in pattern alongside the untamed abstract representations of nature. This combination speaks to me of our internal conflict and our attempt to control and structure our lives, whilst also recognising the inevitable surrender we face and the breaking through of our true nature.  

​

These paintings evolve in layers and to me don’t feel they become their true selves until there is depth and history within multiple layers.  The interest comes in the detail and how the layers react to each other and work together.

To me, this time in existence feels like a time of great change. We have been living with duality for many centuries….chaos & calm, light & dark, structure & wilderness, the head & the heart, the masculine & the feminine, to name but a few.  All of these are represented in my paintings and it is my hope to evoke an appreciation for how these elements harmonise, rather than fight against each other. I feel that perhaps it is time in the world to embrace the beauty in each of these differences and visualise how when we can work together for a better world for us all x
