Artwork Description

The story behind this artwork was a visit to Mt Kosciuszko National Park. As I hiked through the trees, I was totally in awe of the colours of these snow gums that I came across, I couldn't believe how many colours, shades, tones and textures they had, it was my first time seeing these marvellous colourful trees. I took photos and they stuck with me for a long time on my return. Interestingly I wasn't planning on creating a piece on them but as I got back in my studio and was playing around, the colours that I saw in those trees started to come out. And then a whole series came about. This piece is part of 3 pieces which can be bought together or separately as a snow gum, or snow gums together.

Artist Bio

My creative practice is an expression of the transformative power of yoga and meditation manifest through abstract painting and illustration.

Using my experiences in different natural environments as a starting point, I work with the unpredictable medium of alcohol inks to create abstract works with unexpected forms and vibrant earthy colours that mimic the patterns and textures of nature. Working in this way, my practice in itself becomes a form of meditation where I let go of all expectations and agendas to allow myself to become a vessel for creation to manifest through me. The spontaneous nature of the medium of alcohol inks is balanced in a duality with the intentional layering of the illustrated patterns and forms I map on the picture plane, which are intuitively drawn following the rhythm and feeling of the abstractions beneath.

The processes I employ in my pieces therefore reflects the meditative path, from the openness and rawness of our essence and pure awareness, to focusing in and being fully present with the specific moment of creation.
