Follow your Dreams

‘It took me thirty years to have the courage and belief to follow my dream of becoming a professional artist. During that time, I followed a whole raft of different paths that others had advised me to take. They were all well-meaning, but I never felt fulfilled because they were not my dreams.As soon as I started creating and expressing my thoughts and ideas, the whole weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders. My mind was set free, and so too was my spirit. I have never felt so at ease.’ ‘All of my work is created by blowing acrylic paint using only my breath. I do not use any equipment at all (including straws) and do not physically touch at all the canvas or glass on which I paint.’ I am an artist inspired by the movement of water and the way the water surface abstracts the aquatic forms below. My paintings explore this combination, using palettes of contrasting colours and negative space. As in nature, the ever-changing light on the paint reveals the subtle texture of the water caused by its own flow and that by the form beneath. Through my work, I hope to express the calmness and intrigue that water brings me. Work that continues to surprise and brings tranquillity to a space and some serenity to people’s lives.
