Please note the actual piece is on paper approx 15cm sq. These are then mounted and then framed in the white box frame you see here. The black background was simply to help photograph the pieces. I will add some 'in situ' shots soon so you can see the paintings in context. These little abstract drawings are an exercise in restraint and simplicity. Inspired by Aldous Huxley's The Island '“It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling...” I am trying to create light, drawings of movement and form. I would like the viewer to feel and emotional connection when viewing the collection and intuitively allow themselves to be attracted to some compositions over others.

I like to say that I paint ‘The Edge of The Rainbow’. The term comes from Donna Tartt’s novel, The Goldfinch as she describes a space that sits just beyond reality, where all beauty, magic and art exists. My paintings are an attempt to conjure this space, to break through this reality and try and grasp what lies just beyond what we can see. Its a place that is blurry, shimmering and impossible to capture. In practice, I use layers and layers of thin, runny oil paint to create glowing glazes of colour that vibrate and change in the light. As I apply each translucent layer I like to imagine that light and air is caught within the painting, allowing it to breathe and come alive.
