She Loves Colours Painting

I create my art with passion, happiness and a sense of being lucky. Contemporary abstract style is the most natural to me. Important influences are nature in many forms, the human body and people. As I develop the picture, a story evolves in my imagination. My expression is inspired by life's complexity and energies. Major areas of work are painting and drawing. Painting The subject and style determine whether I work in oils, mixed media or acrylic paints. I love to paint with complex colour interactions and challenging compositions. In my Colour Circle series of oil paintings, my interest is in the dynamics between emotions and visual impact of colour. I use complex colour structures and layers of texture. A formal style brings coherence and harmony to the picture. For me, oil painting is a slow, thoughtful process. Drawing In my current drawing practice I use layers of lines and colours in mixed media to form the composition and develop my ideas into stories. I love to draw quickly and spontaneously to music. The life model, props and music provide the catalyst for me to enter the world of my imagination. I attend weekly figure drawing sessions at Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia.
