Inspired

'Inspired' is part of my Quiet Reflection series.

This piece is part of a little series of 5 paintings. I continued to explore different techniques while painting different landscapes I love. One of the consistent things in each of these paintings was the colour Payne’s Grey, my new favourite colour. I have always used it and loved it but this year it went to a whole new level!

'Inspired' was literally about being inspired to paint and to paint this particular landscape. Experimenting with painting techniques and creating some of my own along the way. It is not only fun but also inspires me to paint and is so important to my ongoing practice as an artist. Fun, exploration, experimentation! Experimenting is what keeps it so interesting and exciting. It’s how art evolves.

So in this piece, I wanted strong, watery, colourful brushstrokes to give this landscape movement, texture and depth. I started to move on from my purely blue landscape paintings and add colour.

I am an abstract artist based in Brisbane, Australia. My recent works channel feelings and emotions evoked by my experience of natural landscapes. Through the processes of layering paint, experimenting with composition, mark-making and palette, I seek to express an ephemeral sense of balance, depth and luminosity. My paintings are moody and sensorial, imbued with ideas of transience and renewal. Essentially, I create emotive works with broad interpretive scope that invite people to reflect.
