This stunning workmanship has a lot to do with my previous feed post called "Colour Evolution." My theme of human connection is so often inspired by something in the natural world. How do we stay genuinely connected in a mindful, focused way in a largely lonely world?

"The Crossing"
12" x 12"

Another painting I made for The Artist Project. This series connects me with moments of fun, play, love and adventure, so my process is also playful and contactful. I crank up the music, dance a little, and use many tools other than brushes, especially my fingers. This is now my favourite way to paint. Whatever is going on - music is the bridge that gets me into the right space.

My aim is that one day the energy or mood is translated into the painting so as to connect with the viewer and inspire hope and/or togetherness in this crazy, mixed up, apparently lonely, world.

Thank you to the wonderful people
who collected this series. Come and see me this weekend to see my latest collection. I'm at booth A135, on the North side of the Reflection Pool.

"In Touch"

I painted this minimal cityscape while in Toronto and now I'm thousands of miles away in my home of origin. How fortunate we are to stay so connected, despite the vast distance.

Finding its new home with a concert pianist in England, it too has travelled. Funny how themes connect if you take notice.
