Into The Garden of Dreams -No. 2

This painting is the second in my new series "Into the Garden of Dreams". It takes its title partially from a line of the poem 'Memory' by Zora Cross which I recall from my childhood. Curiously, the poem has resonated with me throughout my life. The garden of dreams is a metaphorical place in which the poet meets herself as an eight-year-old child. I hold a deep fascination for the symbolic language of dream content.

I interpret the images of my environment and my emotions through abstract painting, drawing and sculpture.

Nature is my constant inspiration, providing an endless source of fascination and of strange and wonderful imagery.

Ocean tides, the movement and force of the sea and its oceanic forms and textures;
The texture and shape of rock formations – monumental and timeless, storytellers of past geological events;
The diversity and richness of the Australian landscape;
The dramatic effects of cloud formations and sunsets and the infinite beauty of flora with its limitless forms, colors and textures.

I believe such imagery, so passionately observed and deeply embedded in the unconscious mind informs the way in which it is expressed through art.

I enjoy exploring different techniques and mediums aiming to bring freshness and spontaneity to my art.
