Smoke Rising to Croker Hill Painting

I really want people to experience the thrill of owning original art because it breathes life into empty spaces - adds soul, beauty, texture, interest, emotion. It stamps your walls, your home, with your personality. Each piece is your discovery, you are the curator of your own exhibition. I love this idea and want to create covetable pieces that waken a desire to own them. Even the mosts common things around us have recognisable beauty in them and I see it as my role as an artist to capture and communicate their voice, whether that be colour, form, fragility, fun, size, texture etc. There’s usually an element of fear in not being able to achieve this, which keeps me grounded and on the edge of my comfort zone. I switched from painting with acrylics to oils this year and adore the way the paint moves and blends on the canvas - it’s a great adventure!
