24.01.2022 Hundreds of tiny frogs skimming across the Lilly pads. What a beautiful adventure. First and foremost, the connection with earth and nature, is directly in correlation with the connection to ourselves. I hope all of my paintings reflect this notion. I want it to be clear.. that nature is my perfect metaphor.... The process in which it grows, experiences, connects, gives and takes, how it's wild and free from self gratification and ego, yet holds perfection in sequence and geometry, in its own direct correlation with the rest of the universe... DEEP... . . . #adventurer #SriLanka #adventure #lilpads #lillies #frogs #outback #countrylife #bikes #artistlife #artist #artistabroad #travelling #travellers #travellife See more

20.01.2022 The humble giraffe keeps visiting me in all forms, except in the flesh haha. Walking down my street, I see a big wall with the giraffe textile pattern, huge tall coconut trees and hues of orange and pink painted in the sundown sky. So I painted a picture of my street. Alongside is the progressive nature of creating and creation! For example, the simplicity of ancient cave drawing, an idea, an object.. and how that idea has movement.. there's so much power in the present.... . . #oilpaint #oilpainting #picture #pictureperfect #cavepainting #colours #sunset See more

18.01.2022 I'm dying to paint grand scale!! Some new paintings over the past couple months, using tiny brushes, personally not for me. But feeling more comfortable developing skills and most of all really enjoying the process!

17.01.2022 Just received this video from my exhibition "Controlled chaos" ..have a look, you may be in it We had the amazing Lilith De do an ariel performance with a fantastic costume she created. A huge thankyou to Sam Proctor and Rich Humphreys @Nexuspointpictures for the awesome job on Lilith's video. Checkout their work! Im working on another exhibition here in SriLanka.... Thanks so much everyone and I'm really excited for the journey, challenges and good times ahead. https://vimeo.com/435635879

17.01.2022 Living in such a bubble right now! With everything that's going on in the world, we are lucky to be in the tiny surf town of Arugam Bay, SriLanka. There are afew hundred travellers left in the town from all over the world, and everyone feels like home because we are building community and strong friendships. Together creating markets and workshops, like juggling, macramé making, improv dance, yoga, ukulele and ofcourse lots of family dinners. The people who are left here, ...for the most part, chose to stay and make it work, so you can imagine the character and personalities left Such an interesting situation and I don't think we will ever experience anything like it again. . . #home #markets #hippymarkets #love #family #SriLanka #arugambay #travelling See more

12.01.2022 The last sunset we hiked to crocodile rock, saw big elephants across the fields and bioluminescent plankton sparkle under our footsteps Was magical! An extra special treat when I yelled "ace of spades" at a down turned card on the sand... then later at my feet a very matured salt water croc tooth.. swoon. . .... . #SriLanka #crocodile #crocodilerock #beach #sunset #mountains #hiking #love #friendsforlife See more

08.01.2022 Progress shot from today's efforts, playing with movement. Still life from a more philosophical aspect. A deeper look into what we perceive reality to be and what it actually is. The subject was inspired by a fantastic safari through the savannahs of SriLanka, hundreds and hundreds of local flamingo flocking together as one, then landing to chill in the lake.. just divine!

08.01.2022 Really interesting experimenting with portraiture. Though, trying to make that connection with a reference picture? These thoughts all came through, because let's face it, theres alot of time to think whilst staring at a picture and then painting... I understand that a picture speaks a thousand words, but still.. not sure the painter and viewer are really squeezing the experience for all it's value COULD be worth. Fair enough with portrait references I'll mess around with for...m and style, it's good to practice technique and play, I love it so much, but to create a masterpiece with an imaginary projection from the subject and then express, definitely isn't as authentic as I'd like to be. And frankly when the opportunity does arise, how conditioned would I be to truly make this translation. For me, I really want to capture the story, the history, passion and pain of the subject. I guess the only way is to feel the true projected energy in a real life sitting, get to know and genuinely try understand the sitter. I really do think that to practice this aspect of painting is as equally important as the style in which we develop.. because that's our journey. But wow, to really condition ourselves as artists to feel and translate another person could be one of the most powerful gifts. Wouldn't it be special if we all felt truly understood. For an outrageous example.. and food for thought imagine sitting down to draw a wonderful portrait of a dear friend, once finished, showing the friend a yellow apple with a pair of eyes, nose and lips.. the friend then joyfully gasps, "THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL" ! Also why self portraits are also a really good way of expressing... Because you know you. . . . #artist #artlife #travelling #travellingartist

02.01.2022 I've been working on a series called "Still Life".. trying to take a deeper look into illusion. At how much is alive and moving.. all the floating particles and atoms, how we are actually in cahoots with our surroundings, gas, liquid or solid. Over the past couple of years I've started to develop a great love for science and it's wisdom! How we can grow through the methodology ingrained and apply to our everyday life...swoon. .... . . #artist #travelling #travellingartist #abstractart #realism #contemporary #contemporaryrealism #pink #hues #gallary #studio #oilpaint #oilpainting #paint #painting #science #atoms #ballerina #dance #stilllife #power #movement See more

01.01.2022 Oil on loose canvas Will touch up after it dries in 10 years My moody fire woman, some full moon power during my birthday. 32 years, learning lessons every single day. Actively conditioning myself to push outside comfort zones (yes, this takes work), exploring new places inside and outside of myself.. maybe they are two of the same and maybe the more I realise this, the more I understand the experience is just a reflection of expression, and the more expression, the more u...nderstanding and growth... "You gotta go there to come back"...
