Collection: 'Fifty' series

Upon turning fifty this year, these paintings encapsulate many layers and depth of life experience, the warmth of genuine love and connection, the unapologetic raw expression of being human, the gratitude I feel for life itself, and my increasing desire for space and time to simply breathe and be.

The limited palette of Magenta, Prussian Blue, Cadmium Yellow and Raw Umber combine to produce colours that remind me of many personal favourites; dark chocolate and cherries, mulled wine by the fire and sangria in the sunshine. The warm and cool colour combinations make them versatile for most wall colours.

The little abstract landscapes are a nod to my dad who was a talented realistic landscape watercolour artist. They include little collaged excerpts from A Midsummer Night's Dream.
