My Story 

The origins of my journey as an artist began with abstract painting. Over time, like many artists, I reached a point where I felt stuck - and just stopped painting.

 

It was absolutely serendipitous that I happened upon the world of Fluid Art and became obsessed with the many methods of releasing layers of paint onto a canvas then guiding and coaxing the colours to flow, collide and interact evolving into a magical kaleidoscope of colour and form. The science of mixing paint with various additives of thinners, thickeners, colours, metallics and enhancers turned me into an experimental alchemist with results sometimes ending in laughable disasters or, more often as my technique grew, in an amazing and unique work of art! I've learned to leave some works as completed while some I will further embellish with inks, paint or resin.

 

Lately I’ve turned another corner and returned  to abstract painting. Delving into a couple of art courses has renewed my lost inspiration and revived my excitement for the more conventional methods of paint palettes, brushes, charcoal, crayons, graphite - and whatever I can lay my hands on!

 

Learning how to not plan but to practice emptying my mind allowing my intuition to take control is not easy task. This challenge has renewed the excitement and freedom of expression I had missed without realizing it. Now I can't wait to see what's next!
