Welcome to my Reflections Series.
"Reflections" is a new body of work admiring the ripples and reflections of local ponds, admiring the vital role they play in providing aquatic life with rich habitats and biodiversity.
"Reflections" acknowledges the time spent looking both upwards (at the skies) and downwards (within the water) and yet also casts the perfect metaphor for the reflections of our minds, both in searching for more and searching within.
Each piece is rich in layered depths of deep blues, greens and with a subtle undertone of yellow. The brushstrokes are feathery, light, fluid and moving.
Each piece look stunning alongside other pieces from the "Reflections" series or on its own with a neutral backdrop and lots of plants.
Breathe "Reflections" into your home and allow peace to reign.

Using the seasons as a metaphor for the internal changes of life, I recognise that each season has it’s merits and logic. In creating these summer inspired paintings, part representational, part imagined, part memory and part revelation, I am learning about the inherent joy held in creation, in a moment, in a season - a nudge towards the heavenly realms. Accessible in any place and any time, through the slowing down, the noticing, the mindfulness of embracing the season for what it is. In part also, each painting paints itself, allowing the creative process of colour pops and texture to dictate the overall result.
The story continues in the viewers eye… what do they mean to you?

Immersed
Inspired by the feeling of being immersed under water, looking up towards the light. An ethereal experience as layers of height / depth play with our sense of place. Continuation from the reflections series where I felt light bouncing off water was the perfect metaphor for our our own internal emotions, this series looks at the view from below looking up. Taking this perspective looking up at light whilst in water, this series takes on a dreamy, subconscious feel. Inspired by snorkelling in Turks + Caicos.

Love pure Love. Heavenly Realms Summer Tropicana Imaginarium…Cherry meets Chipotle.
Hot red on hot pink, Heavenly Realms Summer Series, palette turned up to fiery hot!
I painted this series directly after the pandemic when we could travel again. I travelled to Andalucia, Spain, to Sevilla on a mini feast of a mini break and I was struck by the red hot red and cherry pink palettes.
Red is the colour of passion, fire, blood spilt from blue to red as it oxygenates….
I let my mind travel and got caught by surprises a long the way.
Cherry Chipotle series represents the longing for that distant shore, the moment you realise, it was in your imagination all along.

Autumn party calling - all welcome! Autumn starts with the feasting celebration of juicy, bountiful harvest fruits and russet ferns. It leaves with the ultimate decay into winter. Going into our second lockdown at the end of Autumn 2020, Autumn held a bittersweet but beautiful message. What did we need to mentally clear out and put down to get through?

IN THE WORDS OF DAVID HOCKEY, SPRING IS NOT CANCELLED!
Spring is such a source of inspiration for me! It starts of with the beckoning of hope - the trumpets of daffodils, and then progresses into a splendour of celebration, handing the baton to summer.

During the second lockdown Jan to March 2021 I found myself trying to escape mentally by imagining my local North London muddy green spaces in heavenly realm palettes. It was a dark time for many and I escaped the news by getting out, walking in nature, then turning up the imagination and travelling inside. Winter is my least preferred season, but having worked on these, it became my favourite! I loved how the frozen decay of leaves showed beautiful forms and shapes of bear branches. In some I felt they took on an underwater feel, interesting to me as I love aquariums and marine life. I felt the lesson of winter taught me to see the hope in the midst of darkness, that in life we need the clearing out of winter to make room for the growth of Spring. That spoke to me personally on so many levels during co-vid. What could we leave behind from our old ways of being to make room for growth?
