If the sea is calm and the right seating available on the ferry deck and out of the breeze, sitting cross-legged I can sketch the water and let the scene create a space within my soul. Gradually worries and stress float away as the ferry cuts through the water. The colours are cool and green, the skyline a thin turquoise blue line. There's no traffic and very few distractions. The odd seagull floats by, keeping pace. This painting is intended to create a feeling of deep calm. The blue, green, turquoise, yellow and gold have been chosen to lift away surface worries and soften the edges of the body and mind. It is painted using a square 20 x 20 inch canvas on a 1.5 inch deep stretcher. The image continues around the edge of the stretcher giving a three dimensional image from the sides. The canvas is "Gallery-wrapped" and does not need a frame, and can be hung directly on the wall. A signed Certificate of Authentication will accompany the painting. Shipping the Painting: I will personally pack and ship the artwork using thick insulation board, taped on all sides to protect the corners during transit. This method has been approved by a Professional Gallery for the Shipping of paintings. Prints on Fine Art Paper or Canvas can be purchased direct from the website. Prints on Fine Art Paper or Canvas are also available.

I live and work as a visual artist. My paintings are large, expressive canvases - dynamic figurative art revealing energy within the human form, in and through our environment. I paint on a daily basis and teach locally in our community. Having been part of Galleries and Studio-Galleries during my career as an artist, I am now selling my art direct to collectors through Saatchi Art online. I have had a regular art Newsletter to keep my clients and customers in touch with my latest artwork. Artist Statement The inspiration for my artwork comes from the seen and unseen energies that connect the universe. My fascination with optics, the study of sight and the behavior of light teaches me how science observes the human body and environment at a molecular level. Using transparency and movement, I paint this alternate view of reality, where instead of forms and object governing my vision, the energetic world is in focus. When I paint I use bold strokes to show where weight and movement create dynamism, and use ribbons of bright colour to indicate the streams of energy. The dynamic relationship with the land that we stand on and the atmosphere around us are woven into the mix. Often I paint the close and harmonious relationship in which people or groups can connect. Quantum physics and science inform my work, and allow me to experience a new vision, a different way of viewing the world. Stepping aside from what the camera sees, I strive to interpret my experience in a holistic style, informed by the spirit and movement of a scene. All my paintings are referenced from drawings in willow charcoal and pastel. I find these materials give the strength of line and delicacy that I need. From these initial sketches the composition emerges and has the benefit of immediacy. This acts as a springboard to inspiration. Each line or brush stroke tells a story, and I’m aware that the energy behind a line can be perceived on the canvas. Where the lines of energy flow in a landscape or a human body, they give information to the eye that we interpret, each in our own way. If we could see energy between things, the relationship between the seer and the seen, then how would our world look? I explore the energetics of the universe in my paintings, and express some of these energies in line and colour. I work quickly and in short bursts, usually covering the whole canvas in one session, then layering colour to imitate the layers that I perceive.
