The In-Between

The In-Between
Acrylic On Canvas
50 by 40cm
19.5 by 15.5 inches approx

With this piece what draws me in is the dark crevasse, the space in-between all the colour. . It’s a still space, a space to rest. It’s the space between each breath, & each heart beat. It’s beckoning to sit in it’s stillness which is in the middle of a noisy, bright, busy carnival of colour. The carnival is also alluring but I’m drawn to explore this quiet space. What is it? What will I find in the in-between if I spend time there? The colourful spaces distract , they beckon to come play and there’s an allure in that also. The in-between is silent and still, calm, almost regal with its white walls on either side .. The colour is the breath , in and out..The in-between in the pause, is the space between each breath, where everything is still for a moment in time. The colour feels like a smokescreen, a place to play, a place to be experience, a place to forget for awhile. The in-between is patient. It waits…
I feel this piece represents awareness of the pause, the inbetween. That the inbetween is as rich , and as colourful as the carnival that is life..Perhaps the soul essence, it’s seat resides in the inbetween …

I am an intuitive artist living in Tasmania. My art journey began in 2014 after experiencing several losses in my life. Art became a form of therapy, a space of solace, as well as a source of enlightenment. Seeking answers through art became a daily practice. It became my way of communicating with the unseen. I express what I receive in colour, shapes & word dialogue.
Creating art has become my greatest joy and form of inspiration.

I create inspired by inner visions, feelings, and ideas. This process activates an inner knowing, a curiosity, which I access though colour play, patterns, designs and shapes. As the art progresses I explore and express what I feel onto the canvas. The art is birthed piece by piece, each step, each mark born & expressed in the moment. I see each piece as a gift. Once complete I sit with it, and read its interpretation through visuals & internal dialogue. This way of interpretation brings insight, & clarity. It completes the “jigsaw” of colour and shapes. It is an important step of my creative process. Ive found that many resonate to the interpretation as much as the art itself… sometimes more so…

My style is for the most part abstract, yet at times it falls into other categories. Some see paradoxes within my style. All is intermixed in a way that leaves one wondering, and I feel this is by design, though not on purpose or with intent.

My art is an internal exploration. Each piece is a journey in self discovery. It explores infinite possibilities and landscapes. The act of creating is a dance with the unconscious, weaving into the physical colour and shapes,. I love exploring this inner world through my imagination.

I have no formal art degree. I create from a child like perspective, within a space of endless possibilities. There are no rules to follow other than to paint or draw in the moment what I’m seeing or feeling intuitively.

The insights I receive while creating art may be a little esoteric. That is my practice and journey as an intuitive artist. I create pieces that inspire an internal curiosity. I enjoy being in a state of playful wonder.

My goal is to create art that uplifts, enlightens and inspires curiosity.
