Mixed Media (Acrylic paint and crayon, Charcoal) on Paper

Painted during lockdown at a moment in time when I was feeling vulnerable. I was exploring a landscape format with little early intention. Identifying a central gap brought ideas about change and how everything was in a state of transformations. The addition of a single white sweeping brush stroke made a fragile bridge I seemed to be walking.. Reference to the stars in the in the title brings in the notion of what is there but cannot yet be seen.

Creativity and the arts have always helped me to make sensed of the world. Currently my interest and curiosity is about the cross over between the sub-conscious and thinking awareness. Using an intuitive/abstract painting approach lends itself to a process of experimentation where feelings and philosophical meanderings mix with a sense of the natural world.
Dancing between risk and technique I go through the challenges of uncertainty, keeping out of my head initially, and then back into a myriad of choices to incorporate a sense of light, looseness and spaciousness. Working mainly with acrylics and keeping the size easy to manage, allows me to have man images on the go at any one time, so that periods of reflective meditation become part of my process.
My journey started with a love of the Impressionists, followed by the American Expressionist Abstract painters and into Conceptual Art. Today I aim for a perspective that is unique and genuine to me. Working with colour excites me as I use it to create a sense of mood or place. I love that giving reflective time to the work may bring out new understandings..
