Enroute Painting

Enroute a painting on glass evolved during extended time in the studio when life was limited to virtual encounters and my attention was drawn to a mirrored image of myself on the face of my digital screen an idea of self-reflection mirroring the physical inspired my experimentation with glass. For me it was a natural progression from computer painting and the process of reverse painting offered a great sense of freedom and excitement of exploring a new media. My exhibition Face to Face in 2022 was the outcome of my explorations of abstract compositions, pattern, colour, mark making and spatial elements. I love the way the glass reflects the surroundings and the viewer. External elements that face the painting catch the light that projects on to the glass becoming part of the surface of the work; adding another dimension to the painting.
