"Sun hats" Painting

Often my paintings are of my coastal walks on the Costa Brava where I live in Spain. Working from observation, I layer colours, shapes, lines and textures to give my unique impression of the scene before me. I use thick oil paint with a pallet knife to create sumptuous, textured paintings On an ipad I use my finger to draw and this gives my paintings an authentic intimacy and energy. Throughout my adventures and global wanderings I have always sketched, painted and studied fine art. setting up studio on a desert island south of Somalia or in the sitting room of a New York apartment or at an art school in Munich or London. My work evolves with my life. Thick sumptuous oils of chubby bathers made way for luminous layers of haunting acrylic abstracts. I explored the freedom and possibilities of digital painting and I am currently working on textile creations. I live in Catalonia with my beloved husband, daughter, donkey and dog!
