Finally Finished My Artist Statement
My journey as an artist is continually
evolving and I am constantly looking to challenge my own perceptions to my own
art practice.
As an artist I take inspiration from the
natural world around us. My work
depicts the power and forces inflicted on our environment, the unpredictable
motion of the ocean mid storm, the cascade of a water fall or the ripple of a
brook. I am drawn to shape and
form of rocks, pebbles, standing stones and the way they are affected by what
coexists around them.
I like to use acrylic in my work when
capturing the raw power of nature, applying it broadly and quickly attempting
to replicate the energy that I am trying to encapsulate. Other mediums used in my art practice
include watercolour and graphite. Frantically applied painterly and impasto
techniques contrast with calmer more deliberately painted methods.
I am currently exploring using canes,
sticks and twigs as a method of applying both wet and dry medium. I find this
method of working very engaging, working on the floor gives a whole new
perspective to the works. I am encouraged to explore further this method with
other mediums.
