Light on form is my inspiration and fuels all my work. I start each piece as an exercise in lighting form, whether it is the human figure or a landscape/seascape; and each piece invariably progresses into a spiritual journey where the painting evolves into a vignette of my everyday life – the emotions, the responses to external events and pressures, and my ongoing spiritual reflection: all rarely articulated. Whilst not intentional the women in my paintings feel and face pain and in my landscscapes a deep emotion is evoked. This emotion comes as I paint – subconsciously it dictates the creation of each facet of the painting: the palette, the background, the brushstrokes. Each piece takes me on a journey, sometimes unwelcome but always illuminating. |
