The big. The tiny. The sea. The surf wash and foam. The molecules. These things are what I think about and look at when I create these paintings. They can be viewed as miniscule cell life just as easily as dainty sea creatures or an underwater garden with floating coral blooms.
The circular organic motifs and the organic cluster patterns allude to cellular life forms, dainty aquatic-life and to the visceral otherworldliness of the building blocks of life like cells, amoeba and molecules. Delicate and beautiful yet also vulnerable.
Clearly I love this colour, gives me that summer feeling. The jewel like ultra-marine blue, aqua and white with touches of green and yellow creates a gentle shimmer cross the surface. A stunning reminder of the effervescence contained within the waters of life.
Many viewers feel a gentle freedom from this series of paintings. Uplifting and peaceful like being underwater with jellyfish floating by.
