Black Flower Dance

This original artwork was inspired by a young traveller from California, who was our model for the day. I have abstracted the shapes of the body and dance movements of the model to form the composition. This model brought a bold and dramatic presence. The rest is from my imagination, as well as my love of interesting plants and dynamic colour interactions.

Expressive Style. Woman, body, dance, black, flowers, music, vibrance, dynamism, bold colour interactions, strong contrasts.

Painted at a Friday morning Dynamic Drawing session at Byron Bay Australia. Finished in my studio.

Biography

My Story

I am an Australian artist living in Lismore New South Wales. I create vibrant abstract paintings and drawings using dynamic movements of beautiful colours and dramatic contrasts. I love working on my creations, which express high positive energy. I work quickly to music, responding to my emotions in an expressive and gestural style. Current artworks are inspired by nature and the human body.
Recently I have focused on large colourful abstract paintings, which evoke positive emotions and make a visual impact. I also enjoy working with the life model in Dynamic Drawing weekly sessions at Byron Bay, where I create layered, abstract figure drawings and enjoy the company of other artists. Many years of experimental art practice, colour studies and figure drawing from life models allow me to be a free spirit in my art – spontaneous, innovative, bold and joyful.
