La Découverte Artwork

This is a composite image made of several of my own photographs, covered in two layers of resin, tinted with ink and glitter. Having always lived by the sea, I feel a strong connection to it. My studios in England and France are both close to the sea which helps me to recreate the myriad colours of the Mediterranean and the coastal waters of the UK in many of my paintings. I have been experimenting with resin for some time as it is quite a tricky medium to work with. By layering various translucent and metallic pigments the resulting painting looks glasslike as if you could dive right through it and the resin protects the image from damage and UV light. It can take many days to achieve the layers and ultimate finish but the jewel colours, the depth and light reflection properties of the finished pieces are even more amazing in real life. I have been a fine art photographer for 12 years and a longtime practitioner of yoga asana, regularly listening to vedanta talks and reading about this branch of Hindu philosophy in which parallels between waves, oceans, infinity and pure consciousness are drawn. As well as nature and the oceans, I love colour, light and texture which have been the inspiration for my vibrant acrylic paintings of models I have photographed over the years. In some of my work I incorporate gold leaf to give highlights and a touch of luxury and sometimes my own photographic images have minerals, paint and resin added to them to create original artworks. l have so many ideas that I can't wait to share with you so watch this space!
