ABOUT THE ARTWORK

My underwater series depicts abstracted underwater scenes where schools of fish swim and swirl in harmony. The impressionist application of a single colour per brush-stroke, each representing a fish, works to create a varied depth of field and an almost three-dimensional appearance. In vibrant blues and greens with pops of red, yellow or magenta, my paintings are alive with movement, texture and colour. Painted on 12oz heavy duty hand stretched canvas. Mixed media on canvas. Signed at the back. Ready to hang.

My work is inspired by my love of nature and the feelings evoked when I am in natural environments, from the ocean to forests, bushland and mountains. I try to maintain a daily connection with my natural environment, and start my day walking my dog near the ocean. For some time now, I have been painting the underwater world. My early significant connection with the ocean began with an unfortunate encounter with a stingray. This experience became a focus in my artwork, and over time evolved from a fear of the ocean into an appreciation of its beauty. There is a beauty when painting from an experience, memory and feeling. My hope is that my work touches the senses and imaginations of the viewer and transforms the view to a calm and peaceful state of mind. Recently I have also started to paint my underwater scenes with pink to bring another element and diversity to my work.
