MYSTIC WATERS (2024)

​

I continue to explore my own relationship to water.  

 

During 2024 I was able to spend a few months working in a studio on Islais Creek. This urban waterfront was once San Francisco’s largest watershed and has a rich and vibrant history. The sheer beauty of the Bay and the diversity of it’s inhabitants holds a special place in my heart. Each day travelling across town to the studio gave me a strong sense of the fragility of life in this city as I encountered the busy goings and comings of the commuters, the homeless encampments dotted around and the natural spaces where one can find solitude and quietness. I feel as though this work is just the beginning of the series.​

Mystery of the Water (2022)

​

I have been tackling my own relationship to water.  I love the water, I am the first one in for a swim but get scared if my feet don't touch the bottom. I am aware of the magnitude and strength of the ocean and am in awe of its majesty. My ancestors travelled across waters searching for a new home, as I have continued to do. The water holds many secrets. According to Carl Jung "The sea is the favourite symbol for the unconscious, the mother of all that lives....." I have been fortunate to live close to different bodies of waters, in California and now in Pembrokeshire in Wales, which I reflected on as I painted this series. They contain influences of cultures and artists I admire and tell the story of my life journey so far through inner landscape depictions.
