Painting

My present work is strongly affected my past career as an art therapist. Due to a recent personal trauma; to find healing and some peace, I find myself tapping back into my art therapy training and experience to create paintings which delve beneath the surface of reality.

These works are built up with abstracted layers of paint, mixed media and collage, so that beneath the surface lies history and information which can sometimes be glimpsed at through glazing or sanding back through surface layers. Whispers of thought shadows which can be barely glimpsed. The resulting works are full of meaning and stories, it is up to the viewer to find their own interpretation within the abstraction.
