My eyes seek out the beautiful in the ordinary…the changing seasons, the cast shadow, the shape of a cup, the hazy images in a window on a misty day, the organic lines of a twig. Noticing these small moments and recording them with photography give me the creative ideas I use intuitively in my paintings. I go through layers and layers of paints and scraping back or collage elements in order to find my way through a painting. The playfulness of colours and shapes peeking through from the under layers, and the open curiosity of what possibilities lie ahead drive my process further with the discovery. “What does this painting want to be?” is a question that I let sit in front of my mind as I work. Abstraction gives me the open path of not having expectations of where I should end up. It leads me to the finish that is unexpected, playful and connected.
