ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This summer, like the last one and the one before, I looked for butterflies and saw only a handful. Twenty years ago the air would be filled with them, I could almost hear the rustle of their wings as I sat in my garden and watched them fluttering above me drinking the nectar of flowers I had planted. Now it is empty. Butterflies are beautiful and they are a crucial element in a healthy environment. My paintings are joyful to look at, but there is often a message about our environment and the changes I have observed over the years. I am using blue with glints of gold, and pale green to describe the ephemeral beauty of a butterflies wings. It is framed in a contemporary, deep wooden frame with fixings. It is signed on the back

I drift along the edge of abstraction and I often find myself diving into the deep realms of abstract expressionism, intuitively exploring the landscape of the natural world, of body, and of mind. I use gestural marks, colour, and texture to describe, the connection I have with a place or an experience and its energy and the impact it has on me. I use acrylics and mixed media, building layers using a variety of tools such as rags, spatulas, bits of plastic, and card as well as brushes. Then I scrape back into the paint to reveal a rich, textured, and sophisticated story. There may be as many as 10 layers of work, some hidden or with only a speck being revealed. I increasingly find myself painting what I feel, not what I see. A painting will reveal itself to me and after leaving it to settle for a few days I can read stories in the painting, which relate to recent experiences. I work from my studio in The Silk Mill in Somerset, England.
