Abstract Artist using narratives derived from nature and emotional wellbeing
“The headland” 150 x 100 cms on silk. Part of “The headland” 150 x 100 cms on silk. Part of the spring art fair curated by @bloomfieldsart at Linleys In Pimlico @linleylondon . Using heightening of colour using a marigold dyed silk canvas. This technique, perfected over the past 10 years gives the work a glowing appearance achieved by the radiant ground and by hand mixing pigment and natural dyes. There is an influence of early renaissance painting with the emphasis on deep illusion of space. The idea of space is achieved by viewpoints of looking down and looking up. The view point is deliberately elevated giving us the impression of rising above from ground level. The exhibition starts today with pv tonight running for 6 weeks. For opening times contact @linleylondon .

This is the painting “Kittiwake “ . Acrylic an This is the painting “Kittiwake “ . Acrylic and watercolour on dyed silk. If you look down at the base of the canvas a single bird flies in the shadow of a headland. Overhead above us the kittiwake hovers against the clouds. This painting incorporates viewpoints of looking down into an imaginary sea and looking up into a luminous sky. There is a new direction to my work using more colour contrasts and multiple viewpoints.

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 enchanted hour with @aafineart @londonartfair The enchanted hour with @aafineart @londonartfair
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.
