Calypso FIelds 2

Fields of bright pastel coloured blocks, circles and stripes in yellow, turquoise, red, orange, green, mustard, beige, pink and mauve. Cheerful and bright the name was inspired by the vibrant calypso music of the Caribbean in this cute small painting. These colours make me happy. Base layers of acrylic paint and finished in oils.

Painting for me is an adventure into the unknown, the mysterious and unattainable and therefore always different, exciting and never boring. I love the intuitive possibilities of the abstract concept and its freedom for interpretation in both acrylic and oil paint. I dream painting.
I began painting around 5 years ago and my art practice has become my passion. Nothing before has ever held my curiosity or determination to improve and grow than painting.
I am inspired and awed by the small things in nature, such as the lichen growing on the trees right up to giant waterfalls and everything in between - life in all its miraculous variations.
I first exhibited my work in 2022 with Eaglemont Artisans then Whitehorse Art Show and have continued exhibiting ever since.
Although I have no formal art education, I have attended many and varied short courses over the years including water colour, abstract acrylics, wood block and linocut printing.
