#reflectionandrefraction – mirrored reality
It is difficult to pass a plate glass window without glancing at our own reflection, yet the reflection is not a true likeness but a mirror image. Windows often pick up reflections from surrounding windows, opening up the possibility of a ‘hall of mirrors’ effect.
I have taken the abstracted reflections from windows as a starting point and incorporated them into a series of paintings.

#naturalforms – fluid sculpture
Natural forms, this project covers a wide area with the common theme of flowing lines. These can be found in the delicate contours of a body, the arch of a tree bough and in a stone sculpted on the seashore. Natural forms are created by growth, decay, erosion, and all the forces of wind rain and sun.
However, these shapes are formed by nature and not by the hand of man and so they have our admiration for their satisfying subtlety, beauty and fluidity.

#faithfortified – deep rooted belief
Four subjects caught my eye in this charming Italian mountain village, the red tower, the terraced houses, a church door and the castle – to have four suitable subjects in one place was too good an opportunity to miss.
Each painting focuses on a different aspect of this remote fortified village; the red tower speaks of its pride and achievement, the terraced houses of its earthy inhabitants, the church of its deep rooted faith and the castle of its strength when facing adversity.
