Identity and formation of the authentic self is an art form in and of itself. Be, unapologetically, some version of yourself that cultivates the most joy!
I work with finger painting as a way to simply play with colour. You might remember the joy of this when you were a child. I love to tap into the process of the visceral delight of making rainbows on a white canvas. That process alone is quite satisfying and sometimes I feel my paintings could stop there. Daniel Mirante labeled me a “Colourist” and I would agree. I am very sensitive to Color as Frequency and Vibration of Light and allow that to come through when I paint. I love the colours that are made when I mix colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel. Like a prism, I am interested in how colour is connected to the essence of light.
Once the base layers of colours are laid, I work on top with white to bring out forms, shapes, and imagery. I then use the Mischtechnik of layering thin glazes over white to bring definition and dimension, as taught to me by visionary artists, Martina Hoffman, Amanda Sage and Autumn Skye.
Painting is a practice and much like a meditative discipline for me. I am able to make sense of my own life stories through the process of painting. These works are straight from my soul and tell the stories my spirit has been navigating since I landed in Australia. It was a risky choice to stay here through a global pandemic, but I did so blindly, before I realised I had found my new home. My feet are happy on the land here, my heart is full having found my soul tribe and my spirit delights in being polished by the energy of the Bay.
