Silver Rain Painting

I am not only an artist but also a silversmith and former dive instructor who is passionate about water. For ten years I lived in The Sudan, Africa, a country, with very little rainfall - upon my return to the UK I found myself thinking more and more about this essential resource and how we often take it for granted. My jewellery collection tries to encapsulate all the different forms of this precious resource and now my paintings, over time, have harmonised with the progressive ‘ebb and flow’ nature of water, coming to represent a greater metaphorical standing within my work. I aim to exhibit the ever-persistent endurance of water that is a keystone to life. The sheer tenacity displayed by water is personified in its human tendencies, bearing the characteristics we hold most dear - water is patient, dynamic and pragmatic. Having already employed the use of copper leaf in my works; the beautiful, reflective qualities of silver leaf and fine silver wire presented the next logical step to my work as it experiences this metaphorical transition through the conceptualisation of water. This artwork has painted edges so does not need a frame, it is painted and hand-stitched on a linen stretched canvas. Hanging wires are attached to the back - ready to hang on the wall. I only use high quality artist paints that have good light fast qualities, real silver leaf and real silver in my work. This painting has been varnished and a sterling silver plate with my Hallmark serves as my signature.
