Diffident - 12"x12" Original Painting
Diffident - 12"x12" Original Painting
This is an original painting, 12"x12" acrylic and fabric on 1.5" deep cradled panel. The sides of this piece are birchwood that's been sanded and finished, so the piece can be hung without a frame.
This painting was created as part of a series of 12x12" pieces that could be mixed and matched on your wall. The colours in this piece remind me a little of Easter, with the bright splashes of greens and pinks. The navy blue keeps it grounded.

The Attraction series
My painting practice is fundamentally an exploration of surface through pattern, color, and texture. I have a magpie-like attraction to bright, colorful, decorated objects, but an orderly mind, a love for the grid and a strong schooling (from my architectural design studies) to mistrust the superficial. These contradictory urges come together in my paintings. I work in many layers of acrylic media, starting with a repeating fabric design at the base and adding elements both rigid and planned (geometric stencil repeats) and loose and unplanned (drips, washes, crackled layers). Abstracted floral forms and decorative elements make an appearance, like dreams of old-fashioned textiles. With these paintings, I celebrate the surface.
