Frequency of Turtles Print, 2019. Edition of 12

The archive images are selected paintings, installations and fibre artworks that are important to me, but do not necessarily fit into a current collection.

Each artwork has it’s story, which for me, as the artist, are metaphorical land marks in a spiritual journey. Nature is always present in my work. Shapes and symbols take the place of words. Different mediums have different roles, and each is as important as the next.

My style has ranged from expressive strokes, to meticulously detailed painted mosaics, digital prints to textural fibre artworks. I love every method.

FIBRE ARTWORK
Inspired by the work of Kris Day. This art was commissioned by a client in Australia.
Each of the 180 vertical strips was made by hand then stitched together into a ‘carpet-like’ wall hanging. The artwork looks like an abstract painting, with extra depth and movement from the cotton and jute yarn.

TURTLE MIND
Turtles have inspired us for centuries by the way they move – slowly, wisely. Within the shell of the turtle I have painted what resembles the synapse of the human brain.

SILVER TREES
I walked past these silvery eucalyptus trees everyday on my way to the studio. One bright autumn day I painted them instinctively and spontaneously. The next thing I knew, a storm had take down both trees. Their elegance and magic is immortalised in this painting.

LOCH NOCKI IN AUTUMN
This small pastel painting evokes vivid memories of sitting on a little island in the middle of a Scottish Loch. Every time I look at this humble image, the scruffiness, the colours and movement are so telling of that moment.
