abstract art

inspired by nature 

for those who find calmness

in repetition and points of interest

i create from intuition and the structure of my work is influnced by the simplicity of piet mondrian. artists work that i have found breathtaking and their narrative engaging are gustav klimt, barbara hepworth and tracey emin. 

 

working on black as i have sensory sensitivity to white. my palette is intentionally minimalist, shifting with the seasons, yet anchored by the constant calming presence of blue, which represents both sky and water.

 

when adding a point of interest,  i integrate elements of traditional craftsmanship that I enjoyed in childhood. such as paper cutting, hand embroidery, weaving, mosaic, hands-on wordsmithing or collage. and sometimes utilise stickers to inject playfulness or symbolism. the stickers that i use are odd dot, they are images of ephemera from the victorian era which are quirky and give a nod to people's exploration of art in that period. 

 

i employ an equitable method for people to own my collection art via a prize draw.
