Abstract Artist using narratives derived from nature and emotional wellbeing
Working on this pair of paintings for the spring s Working on this pair of paintings for the spring show for @bloomfieldsart for the spring show @linleylondon . These are prepared using marigold dyed silk giving colours a warm glow. This constitutes part of a new series of paintings that uses dyed silk substrates as the background for layering of coloured layers. Yellow is a more vibrant a colour than my usual background of blues. Influenced by the gold backgrounds in Early renaissance painting together with the Eastern idea of yellow being akin to the dynamic Yang element. Like wind blowing a silk banner in the sunlight. The blue element being Yin Element relating to repose and reflection. Like the reflection of the moon on a still pool. The blue will most likely appear during the compositional process.

Many thanks to @yanisangelph for producing these s Many thanks to @yanisangelph for producing these shots of audience engagement @londonartfair . The work is a slightly new direction for me, combining audience engagement with painting. The rewarding aspect of this approach was the interaction with people at the show. I believe it really worked. Much more time was spent actively look at the paintings. People commented that after reading the poetry the paintings looked completely different. Much of this was due to active viewing and engagement. Many thanks to @aafineart for putting up with my crazy ideas.
Exhibited with @aafineart at @londonartfair . Thes Exhibited with @aafineart at @londonartfair . These paintings / poetry was a huge success. In total there were over 800 poems shared. Each highly resonating with the reader and viewer. The idea combines abstract imagery with imagined interior images that resonate with the readers interior world, emotions and experiences. The painting then acting as a mirror that bridges the interior and exterior. The works works were extremely popular and I was fully engaged with interesting conversations and feed back throughout the show. What was so moving about this way of engaging the audience was the emotional impact. Many tears were shed and hugs exchanged. It was truly inspiring to witness, and many thanks to the people who engaged with the work.

The Beacon Looking back to ancient times, through The Beacon Looking back to ancient times, through Viking days and beyond. The beacon, fire on the hill. A point of navigation, where landscape is integrated into a guiding light. Flames flicker in celebration, a warning of invasion, the death of a King. The focus in on the hill that rises above the valley, to burn bright in the evening sky.

It is so rewarding to see where the paintings go i It is so rewarding to see where the paintings go in their new homes. I just received this from a client in Hong Kong. It is from the « Migration of Birds know no borders » series. Bird migration have a resonance to our relationship with nature , freedom and well-being. #clientinhongkong #arthongkong #hongkong
Flight of the Hoopoe, oil and tempera on canvas. 8 Flight of the Hoopoe, oil and tempera on canvas. 80 x 120 cm Exhibited @linleylondon @bloomfieldsart The title relates to the Sufi narrative ‘conference of the birds’ The story by Farid Atar. The birds in their collective suffering decide to go on a pilgrimage to find the king of the birds, the mythical Simorgh. The migration lead by the hoopoe. Many birds died on the harsh journey. When they arrived at the place that they thought the Simorgh resided they found a vast lake, and in it’s reflection images of themselves and others
Inspired by looking out towards a distant headland Inspired by looking out towards a distant headland in Sicily. It was evening, and the light was changing from daylight into evening.As I sat watching the landscape the colours changed from bright ochres and turquoise blues through to gold and purples. The image conjures up the passing of time and views across the Mediterranean Sea”
Swift and Dove Oil and tempera on canvas 80 x 60 Swift and Dove Oil and tempera on canvas 80 x 60 cm Swift and Dove relate to my love of birds. “From an early age I was interested in birds. I think that this interest may have originated from my early years when we had a pet budgerigar who continually sat beside my cot and high chair. For me birds have come to represent freedom and a state of innocence. In my use of pictorial space I often use the idea of looking down at the landscape, like looking at a map or looking down from a plane, the Birds Eye view. Bird migration is mapped through gestural lines. The migration of the swift navigated some three thousand miles from Africa to Europe in our spring and back to Africa through our Autumn. The mythological flight of the dove returning to Noah’s Ark with an olive branch, a symbol for hope and peace. Both journeys symbolising ecological significance “ If you would like a copy of my e catalogue “Navigation to Calm Waters” of works exhibited at Linley drop me a direct message and I will happily forward you the link.
