Taking time

I’m now working in my space, taking my time planning, sketching and studying subject matter to create new artwork.

For the last 10 months I have been pressuring myself to create art to exhibit and sell in the gallery, art trails and events.

I have realised that I need to take a step back, do some reflection and think thoroughly about what I want to create.

Over the next few months I will post some updates about my processes and reflections, without giving too much away about what paintings I am creating.

The images below give an idea of what is currently influencing my direction, and I am using as references in developing compositions and creations.

Textures, structures, human impact, colour, light, shadow and form.

I start with meanderings in my environment: taking photos, observing and sketching what’s around me. I use all this info to make studies and further drawings in my studio.

Looking forward to several months of focused art activity.

Thank you all so much for your support.
