I love colour. I love the medium of paint. I love the shapes and forms that only nature knows how to create. I love the limitlessness of space found in this country’s landscape. I love being witness to all this, connecting to it, and then bringing it back into my studio to explore my interpretations, my questions, my dance with paint and brush.
'Embrace' pays homage to the ever expansion and surrender that is motherhood, while being held, and reminded how to expand with grace. Just like a giant mother gum, extending its limbs to reveal the magical glow of moonlight.
I paint primarily with acrylic and oil, balancing the speed and immediacy of acrylic with the more contemplative struggle and depth of oil paint.
