secret places

These works have been born out of silence and tuning into the inner voice. I love silence; it allows me to be me, allowing me to live in my head. Painting is how I express myself; I now find I am articulating the silence within me in my work. In this series of works, I am working on spaces and places and our experience of it.

These works are about our secret places, both physical and psychological.
Places we escape to ever-changing throughout our lives. Like secret dens in our childhood, meeting places when we are lovers, and the sanctuaries where we escape to in stillness

I found a place Where we can go
To get away
From all we know
A secret place
Just close your eyes
I'll take you there
Let's go…
taken from a poem by King Crow

The work s are in oil on wooden panel, with a variety of mediums for the mark-making
I hope you enjoy them
