Coral Fields 1

This artwork is part of a series that continues to explore the theme of our collective inner landscapes where I'm painting the emotions, desires, and longings of my internal environments, following impulses with paint and pastel, where the final outcome (to me) echoes a living forest of coral.

It's a dynamic and uplifting piece that has a lovely positive energy and will definitely give you something new to discover every time it's viewed.

in terms of my process I never start a painting with a plan and I love to see where the painting heads. I only ever know the next move to make, painting each mark as it feels right, then stepping back and contemplating the next mark. There's always a messy, ugly, 'where is this going?' stage in the middle and I love moving from that into the end result where everything is working together and the tension of that unbalanced stage is resolved.
