These small works on paper are inspired by a rocky patch in a relationship when there is little connection and it feels tumultous and stormy one minute and calm and still the next. It's really about how life can throw you off balance and in a relationship you can be thrown off course. However, as in all my paintings, there is always an element of stability and hope and all is not lost if you can hang in there and weather the storm.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I like to say that I paint ‘The Edge of The Rainbow’. The term comes from Donna Tartt’s novel, The Goldfinch as she describes a space that sits just beyond reality, where all beauty, magic and art exists. My paintings are an attempt to conjure this space, to break through this reality and try and grasp what lies just beyond what we can see. Its a place that is blurry, shimmering and impossible to capture. In practice, I use layers and layers of thin, runny oil paint to create glowing glazes of colour that vibrate and change in the light. As I apply each translucent layer I like to imagine that light and air is caught within the painting, allowing it to breathe and come alive.
