STORY OF THE WORK:
Our new normal - living in the city, mostly at home, is good but it's not enough! I catch myself dreaming about living somewhere coastal or country . . . and remembering the last time {too long ago} I hit refresh with an escape to nature.  

This painting was the last to be finished of the series. As I work closer to the collection creation finish line, the last paintings have a sense of knowing about them - a confidence and playful energy  drawn from the previous works. The earlier pieces set the mood and the final pieces are evolve with freedom.

STORY OF THE COLLECTION:
The new collection is about capturing the romance of the landscape and the sense of longing for escape that it represents.

Working within a loose structure of an imagined or remembered place gives me the freedom to play with abstraction and to explore and express the feeling of being in a beautiful natural environment, without trying to depict reality.

The process of building layers in an unplanned way gives the work an exciting energy. Using a variety of transparent and opaque layers, some earlier marks are kept and others covered. This overlapping of shapes and colours reveals the essence and story of the painting.

Literal landscape references like trees or reflections of water may appear, but it’s the abstract organic shapes and pops of colour - the glittery light popping through the leaves or the snake-like puddly shadows below the trees - that lead the viewer through the painting to a place of quiet reflection and calm.
