About this artwork
"The Tide Pool" is a mixed media abstract painting depicting colours and shapes seen below calm waters. Tide pools fascinate me because there is so much hidden life to be found in them. The ocean is nearby and full of action and right beside it, is a calm stretch of water that remains transparent and protected. Here hides sea life of all kinds and the drama entices me. I have used a lot of texture in this painting which helps to highlight the…
colours of water, rock and weed. Nature has always been a part of my life and it is reflected in my art. I rarely commence a painting with something in my mind - I allow the work to "evolve". I did not intend to paint an ocean scene - it simply ended that way. Abstraction allows the viewer to find their own story and that satisfies me. Perhaps you can find the sand dollar.

Rarely do I commence a painting with preconceived ideas or a predictable outcome. I like the challenge of working with the unknown and capitalizing on “happy accidents” when the paint and textures interact. The exploration time takes hours, days or even weeks. In the end, a painting which satisfies me, will have evolved. I strive to keep the painting loose and bold. If I spend too much time on the painting, it will invariably become too structured or too detailed and I will have to start over. I do not want a painting to look pretty or recognizable – I want the image to be dramatic and mysterious.

Painting has become part of my life. It keeps me grounded.
