‘Shortcuts do sometimes work and do save a lot of time, but all too often they don’t pay off and I end up taking a whole lot longer! This couldn’t be more true with my painting. As much as I just love to paint and get started straight away, when I plan out the idea in my head and get the composition on the canvas to match my mind, I’m no longer fighting with the paint but rather in harmony with it. It moves and flows in a wonderful, natural way that allows me to express the idea so much more clearly.’ ‘All of my work is created by blowing acrylic paint using only my breath. I do not use any equipment at all (including straws) and do not physically touch at all the canvas or glass on which I paint.’ I am an artist inspired by the movement of water and the way the water surface abstracts the aquatic forms below. My paintings explore this combination, using palettes of contrasting colours and negative space. As in nature, the ever-changing light on the paint reveals the subtle texture of the water caused by its own flow and that by the form beneath. Through my work, I hope to express the calmness and intrigue that water brings me. Work that continues to surprise and brings tranquillity to a space and some serenity to people’s lives.
