VIEW IN MY ROOM
Finn and his kite was a commissioned painting. A timeless moment - a little boy on the beach at one with his kite and the wind. I watched him play, mesmerised by the power of his flying kite. His little arm wavering to keep up with it. This moment where he bent in sideways to hold the handle firmly and point to show his Mother the kite was when the portrait appeared. I felt like he was controlling the sky and his kite, the amazingly coloured setting sun became part of him too. I portrayed him as if he was pulling the sky along with him. The distant Balinese temple silhouetted now reminds his Mother of her time living with her boys in Bali.

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.
