This painting marks a pivotal point in my practice. It’s where the subconscious became conscious.

For years, I had been drawn to working with colour and light intuitively, following an impulse without fully understanding where it came from. At the same time, outside the studio, I was constantly photographing the very same things, sunsets, skies, reflections. In effect, I was exploring the same things inside and outside the studio, without consciously making the connection.

I think this happens in life too. We can be drawn to something, or find ourselves doing something, long before we understand why. Then sometimes, in a single moment, the connection is made. Something that had always been felt becomes understood; something subconscious becomes conscious.This painting was one of those moments for me.

Inspired by summers spent in Puglia, I began using lived experience to inform the colour, light and atmosphere of the painting, rather than drawing solely on intuition and imagination.
It marked the beginning of a new way of working, where a painting could be connected to a specific experience, a moment in time, a place, its atmosphere and how it made me feel.

Chasing sunsets is one of my favourite under-the-radar rituals of summer.

I never tire of watching the light transform; gold becoming amber and pink, then a fiery full manifestation of orange, before dissolving into the soft pastel afterglow that quietly gives way to the violet of night.

But most of all, sunsets mark the passage of time for me.

We spend so much of our lives chasing things: more, better, next, without really realising that, in doing so, we are spending away our lives.

What we give our energy to, what we choose to do, and who we choose to spend our lives with matters. For me, that is where the real richness of life lies

And perhaps that’s why sunsets feel so profound to me. They make time visible.

You watch the sun slowly move down, down, down, until it disappears, and suddenly another day of your life has been spent. You can never retrieve it.

It is almost like watching yourself move through your own life, right before your eyes.

So many of my gradients are inspired by sunsets, the beautiful pastel trails left behind as the sun disappears. They are a reminder to notice the light while we are here.

“Imperceptible”
Pearl flake and automotive paint on canvas
80 x 100cm

A continuation of my cloud series. A play on revelation and concealment of light. As the layers of paint build on the surface the light recedes. Here the paint is ever so lightly applied it almost feels like it’s not there.

As layers of paint accumulate on the surface, the light gradually recedes. In this work, the paint is applied so delicately that it almost seems absent. The image hovers on the threshold of visibility, appearing and disappearing.

The work asks us to consider how much exists beyond immediate perception. Just because something is barely visible does not mean it is not there.

Sometimes the most powerful things are not those that announce themselves, but those that reveal themselves slowly
