‘The Smell of Attar’ is a gently surreal and intriguing oil painting on canvas featuring a profile view of a woman with her eyes closed, surrounded by and vanishing into a cascade of leaves and petals. She is both ephemeral and elemental. The whimsical background of blue shapes echoes the leaves and creates a sense of movement and unity with nature, conveying tranquility and harmony. The title comes from a few lines of prose poetry by an Australian songwriter that have been rolling around in my head for a while: Big dreamwind blowing down Miracle street tonight. It brings with it unwanted change and the smell of attar. - Earthed, Steve Kilbey This picture has been painted on the sides so it is ready to hang without needing a frame. A coat of varnish has been applied to protect the paint surface from dust and UV light. The work is signed on the front. A catalogued certificate of authenticity is attached to the reverse. The artwork will be carefully packaged and sent fully insured via a tracked courier.

Painting makes me happy. I become lost in a world of colour and texture. The frustrations and compromises of everyday life melt away. Hopefully people also experience that same sense of calmness and stillness by having a piece of my art on their wall. My artworks are in private collections in the UK, the US and around the world. I was born and brought up in the United Kingdom, apart from a brief few years in Australia. I think the contrast between these two countries has informed my fascination with colour and light. Several years ago, I fell ill suddenly with encephalitis (an inflammation in the brain). I went from being a normal busy working mum to lying in intensive care unable to breathe for myself and with hardly any coordination. Since then, I have relearned how to breathe, talk, eat, write etc. The need to create has to continued to be the balm that soothes my frustrations as well as a way of improving my dexterity. My family and I now call North Devon home. Its big skies and coastal waters provide much inspiration. Oil paint is the medium I love most. I find the smell of linseed oil has a calming effect. As the paint dries slowly, there is more time to manipulate it and so more scope to play with textures. I often use metal leaf and numerous layers of oil paint glazes to bounce light through the picture plane to create depth and luminosity. These are techniques that make the paintings interesting close up as well as from a distance; however it doesn’t always come across in photographs. My artworks are signed on the front and a catalogued certificate of authenticity attached to the back. They are carefully packaged and sent fully insured and tracked. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to message me.
