DISTANCE AND REFLECTION

 

Using texture through the midsection and airbrushed smooth background colour

This painting is a representation of underwater life, part underwater, part flowering above water

UNLEASHED

 

A tense rough textured painting, has to be seen and felt in the flesh to appreciate the fine detail. Representing the fire in the belly, a feeling of justice and steadfastness and bringing it out to be released, or rather.... unleashed!

UNIVERSAL WHEEL

 

"living in harmony within nature
within the compassion of every being
Interconnected and equal
evolving in our continuous circle of life"

Based on the Medicine Wheel - a sacred symbol to many civilizations and cultures representing the continuous circle of life. This symbol brings life lessons helping us to understand ourselves and each other better, bringing us together in a single consciousness. The silver web connecting all represents the invisible cords of energy which connect us all - our web of dreams are spun and everything is possible

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LURE 

 

Acrylic on canvas

Lure is a fish only found at great depths. This fish is amazing in that it has a luminous light on its head. This light attracts other underwater life….though when they get close to this fish they will see how they have been lured in….the mouth on this fish is as big as its body and its teeth are tremendously scary!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BLUR

 

This painting represents many fish swimming as one; they are like a blur as the dart by. I find it beautiful how the light shines on their scales. They are all working hard to stay together when predators are looming around them.

INTO DARK & INTO LIGHT
 
Acrylic on canvas
These two paintings represent many fish swimming as one; they are like a blur as the dart by. I find it beautiful how the light shines on their scales. They are all working hard to stay together when predators are looming around them

FINNED ONES
 
Acrylic on canvas also using airbrush techniques
This painting was from a dream or a vision I had. I was deep in the ocean; I was scared until light beings came to assure me that I was okay. The feeling of being free, being loved and being utterly safe was overwhelming. The colours were beautiful and iridescent. I believe there is God or Spirit in everything, in the stars there are the star people, in the sky there is the Grandfather, on earth there is Grandmother and in the ocean there are the finned ones

PROTECTION

 

This fish is one of the ugliest fish I had ever come across and had to paint it. It got me thinking that all the ugliness is all about survival . The fish itself could be warm natured and happy but we assume the worst due to its looks and its armoury.

 

As people we too can be ugly, we can put on a harsh persona and can lash out as a way of protecting ourselves from what we fear.

STRANGE NATURE
 
Acrylic and Mixed Media on canvas

This painting represents caves at the bottom of the ocean. You feel like you are hiding in a cave, looking out into the vast ocean, not knowing who is going to swim by. I enjoyed experimenting using beads and sand to build up texture. The colours represent the abundance of life surviving at such depths which is still a mystery to us humans
