"Afternoon", acrylic/canvas, 28"x28"
"Hold every moment sacred. Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each it's true and due fulfillment."
~ Thomas Mann
My paintings are my attempt to connect to the heart and to the mind. In my interiors, I want to go beyond the physical and convey the inspiration and the serenity I experience in my surroundings. I am drawn to the everyday.
My goal is to create a sanctuary, a quiet place of contemplation. To share a tranquil spot with a viewer and offer a quiet place to 'sit down' and rest, to create something beautiful out of the ordinary. There is beauty in every thing and I choose to translate this beauty in my paintings by combining simplicity, light and colour. I draw with my brush, manipulating the subject in acrylic paint to share the beauty of imperfection, creating sculptural form.
The foremost emotion I am attempting to convey is joy; it is all around us in forms we may not see or appreciate. A warm bed to crawl into, a comfortable chair to sit in and a book that will take one to places never imagined. These are my simple pleasures.
