Thank you so much for your interest in this artwork! It really means the world to me that you stopped by.
Awarded 3rd place in the November FASO Abstract competítion. Blue Ocean, is a highly textured luminous artwork with haunting blues and deep turquoises contains 24k gold leaf, natural pigments and upcycled textiles and paper, inspired by the ripples on water and the shapes of ocean waves-it pays homage to the universal icon-water.
My art is by the Pacific Ocean. Drawing on my background in science, I create evocative and purposely imperfect paintings inspired by nature’s geological patinas, and the amazing colours of dawn and dusk. I use mixed media for its capacity to create a visual and tactile experience. I curate combinations of materials and techniques to abstract reality, telling a story to elicit the viewer’s emotional response inspiring self-discovery, peace, calmness and mindfulness.The beauty, force and energy of water and its associated reflective light have always drawn me in as a scientist and as an artist.
My paintings are abstracts and impressionistic seascapes and coastal horizons. They don’t represent an actual place, but are an emotional response to my environment and my aim to convey calm and balance and to feel uplifted and at peace. This connection I have with water its associated reflections, and the amazing colours, hues of dawn and dusk is what has inspired my newest art work collection. These pieces are a homage to the natural beauty and emotional energy that globally all water bodies have.
I highly recommend that you experience my artwork with a powerful new feature on my artist website called AR Live Preview (the AR stands for Augmented Reality).
AR Live Preview helps you visualize exactly what this piece will look like in your home before you buy!
