Meet the Artist: All exhibition Hours.
This exhibition explores the abstract whimsy of the landscape while a capturing both a sense of new identity and adventures to come. Abstract landscapes are imaginary places where the mind intuitively goes when creating. A sense of places travelled to and experiences witnessed can be seen in the work. Some pieces capture an emotional roller coaster, others a sense of calm and serenity.
In the spirit of happy accidents in the summer of 2024, a new technique of applying ink was discovered with a spill! A few swipes of ink later, the work was “beyond the green” as the yellows mixed with the blues. The title came from this colourful amalgamation. As non-traditional, abstract landscapes formed, so did a challenge to explore a new layered ink techniques and different perspective.
