I fell in love with art and texture the first time I visited
Mexico. The colours radiated warmth and
created feelings of joy. When I returned
home, I translated these feelings onto
my canvases using paint and texture. I
enjoy working with acrylics, mediums, glazes and encaustics as they allow me to
work quickly. The acrylic mediums allow
me to add texture which adds shape and interest to my paintings. I often incorporate round shapes into my
abstracts. The shapes, combined with
texture and colour create interesting eye movement. Adding glaze to my paintings allows me to add
many transparent layers creating bright
luminous colours. My paintings, whether
acrylics or encaustics, whether abstracts, landscapes or florals, are all
painted with bright luminous colour and texture.
Creating art is an endless journey full of adventure and constant
learning. What a great journey it is!
