The germ of this work was in an outdoor oil painting which was done sitting on top of a 19th century seaside artillery fort - rusty ironwork and rails embedded in the ground, fatigued concrete walls.  Intriguing architectural sweeps and curves and the inevitable graffiti surrounded me as I painted.  I let the idea brew for a while in my head before taking it up again.  What has come to the fore in this painting is perhaps the mysterious underground cellular structure, the secret historic activity and the life that now invades the walls of the fort, and the sea that laps at the foot of the cliff it stands on.  There is some texture in the painting, it is signed on the side, and it comes fitted with D rings on the back for hanging.

About The Artwork

The germ of this work was in an outdoor oil painting which was done sitting on top of a 19th century seaside artillery fort - rusty ironwork and rails embedded in the ground, fatigued concrete walls. Intriguing architectural sweeps and curves and the inevitable graffiti surrounded me as I painted. I let the idea brew for a while in my head before taking it up again. What has come to the fore in this painting is perhaps the mysterious underground cellular structure, the secret historic activity and the life that now invades the walls of the fort, and the sea that laps at the foot of the cliff it stands on. There is some texture in the painting, it is signed on the side, and it comes fitted with D rings on the back for hanging.

I would like people to find and enjoy mystery in my work, and in the minutiae of life that inspires it. I hope that my paintings will give rise to questions and unlock new adventures in the viewer's own imagination each time they look. Texture, memory and all the senses play their part in the stories each viewer will bring to a painting. Much of my work comes from being outdoors, walking, travelling by bus or by ship or by train, and the restlessness of the sea. Movement and energy are an important part of my work and of my creative process. I respond in colours and strokes to the shapes I encounter in the urban and natural world. The urban jungle encroaches even on my Island home, though I do still sense the exotic and the adventurous. The urban adventurer is on high alert each time she leaves her front door. There are always hazards to navigate, roadworks, rail strikes or floods. We are nervy like cats, wide-eyed and wary, while assuming an air of nonchalant boredom with all that impacts our senses. The world is an exciting and richly exotic place of adventure, both because of what we have made in it and because of what was already there in it. Travel, colour, movement and mystery are always present in my work.
