My Studio

Where the action happens, my new studio.



About time too, my friends may be thinkingI have finally got around to creating my art blog.... hurrah! In this blog I intend to track my journey through to my first solo exhibition and beyond.  

I know it’s been a long time coming as I have had my nose down in my new studio for the past year building a body of work.  

So here we go... the work;   Jackson Pollock described his work as, “energy made visible”. I can’t prescribe to you - the viewer - what to think of my work (and I really don’t want to), but I can tell you what was going on in my head throughout the process of making the art.

In my current work I have tried to convey movement as glimpses of light and through abstract forms such as arcs, patterns and pathways.  I'm using colour and texture to describe fragments,  reverberations and fossils, of an unseen heavenly battle where the forces of good and evil are played out.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 6:12)
