34 x39 cm Acrylic painting and mixed media collage on found driftwood , professionally framed in a deep edged wooden white surround frame.
 
My paintings usually begin with layers of collage- maps, poems or excerpts from books, as well as gesso, textured painted papers or found materials. Onto this surface layers of paint , texture, and thin glazes of colour are added which partly conceal the collage underneath. 
 
This painting is inspired by the feeling of being stood by the sea, feeling the elements and hearing the sound of the waves on the beach. The painting and title aim to capture the sense of feeling small in nature and wanting to remember a moment in time.
I create  layered, textured paintings that evoke a sense of stillness and atmosphere. Using techniques like impasto, glazes, and mixed media, I build depth, using subtle colour palettes which remind me of the light at the edge of the sea. These works invite quiet contemplation, capturing fleeting moments of tranquillity through a tactile surface.
