Our hectic, complex lives are filled with tension. My paintings are intended as resting places filled with tranquillity, balance and harmony. I have a penchant for extreme light conditions, intense or subtle, aiming to capture the ambience, mystery and radiance of those extremes, when ordinary things become extraordinary. And I love rich, muted colors.
My latest paintings, the Etherea series, are serene, atmospheric abstractions created with translucent layers of acrylic paint that offer depth, luminosity and mystery. The work has an elusive, dream-like quality with translucent, muted surfaces, layered until nuance and depth are achieved. It’s a process of improvisation, experimentation, revision and intuition.
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
T. S. Eliot from "Little Gidding"
