ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This piece is the first painting of a series of work based around the origins of human art and creativity, through the genre of cave painting. Mark making and expression are of particular importance in the piece, as was the subconscious when I painted the painting. I want the viewer to pause, reflect and think about the transience of human existence and how we have such a short, fleeting time on this planet. I want the composition and colours to transport the viewer to the beach, a contemporary one and also a historic one, perhaps thousands of years ago. The smells and the sound of the sea from the opening of a cave envelop the viewer. A window into time and also into the subconscious mind of collective memory.

SHIPPING AND RETURNS
Delivery Time:

I draw my inspiration from the constant possibilities of painting and the challenge of its unpredictable nature in conveying a subject. I am most interested in the process of painting and the expression it provides, translating a depth of feeling that is both personal but also shared with the viewer. Psychotherapy has directly influenced recent work and renewed my interest in abstract expressionism with the freedom of colour, line and allowing the subconscious and memory to guide my work. My current work explores the raw emotions I have experienced through personal challenges including the corrosive effects of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), infertility and a recent incurable auto-immune disease diagnosis. Whilst these experiences are highly personal, I believe that by exploring those emotions in my work I am creating a voice where one might normally be at risk of being suppressed and hidden.
