VIEW IN MY ROOM
This portrait was a commissioned piece. The family having enjoyed watching their child connect with a dolphin in the Caribbean ocean. They wanted a memory that captured not only a photo image, but an energetic imprint. They spoke fondly of how mesmerising it was to watch their child, so freely accept this big ocean creature, with no fear, only joy and laughter. The dolphin engaged in a playful sequence with the boy, captured on video and photo images. This painting is the moment I chose to portray. Here, I saw the dolphin smiling back at the boy, so beautiful. It was a pleasure to study and paint these two joyous beings together. And the dolphin is my favourite animal.

United Kingdom
I am a creative nomad, journeying between the UK, Australia and Bali, Indonesia. I love to paint people, children in particular, and the wise, elderly. The innate ‘joie de vivre’ they possess inspires all of my art. Light fascinates me and is a continual source of curiosity. Australian light is dazzling, almost painful to the eye. Balinese light is warm and nurturing and the light of the UK has a depth and contrast that has kept us artists motivated for eons. Colour and how it plays within the light excites me. I see energy as colour and intuitively express the colours I see around people. I choose to portray my subjects at one with their environment, present in their moment so they become transparent to the moment. It is my aim, to transmit the energy I see into my art. Vincent Van Gogh (my hero) with his sublime use of colour has been a steady and constant influence. I intend my paintings to vibrate with energy. The dry pigments I use, some containing pure metals, gold, silver and ground crystals, I apply at the completion of a piece using my hands, no brush, this I believe helps create the energetic vibration of the light. Thank you for your time or as we say in Bali - Suksema Tonia.
