ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This painting is currently with The Lane House Arts Gallery in Bath, UK. Please contact me for further information and when it may be available. Thank you. Influenced by the tragic disease of dementia and Alzheimers disease. 'The Shells' tries to express the hollow-ness of a body that is still intact but no one is home. The colours are inspired by mother of pearl and I wanted to use the softness and 'fluidity' of mother of pearl to create something beautiful, with blurred edges and shapes that seem to breathe and float in and out of lucidity. Ultimately, I am trying to create something beautiful and a tribute to all sufferers and their loved ones. I am also influenced by Monet's waterlillies.

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.
