My paintings are simultaneous explorations of what I see, where I’ve been and how I want to feel. Like me, they are multilayered, complex and full of surprises.
MessageI recently returned from a wonderful trip to Italy. Rome, Cinque Terre and Tuscany all appealed to my artistic sense in different ways. There was vibrant colour (Cinque Terre), ancient texture (Rome) and novel shapes (Tuscany), that all came together on this pair of canvases in surprising and exciting ways. To say that I love these paintings would be an understatement!
“Just as Relaxed as the Tower of Pisa” is the darker and more grounded of the two, while “Learning New Ways to be Lazy” has a lovely, light and fresh feel. Together, they create a relaxed, playful and uplifting duo.
