On The Edge of The Pond VII
Working on a series called On the Edge of the Pond over this last year has largely been inspired by the natural waterways I've come across while hiking and kayaking. My intention is to create images that depict small bodies or sections of water which tell a story about the depth, texture and complexity of water in nature. 16" x 16" on stretched regular depth canvas framed ask me about the unframed price.

Yesterday’s Enigma
Many layers and iterations, collage and beautiful colours culminating in the whirlwind of lines and shapes. I love the word, conundrum. It suits abstract art so well: 'a problem or puzzle which is difficult or impossible to solve'. 36" x 36" on cradled wood panel Wired at back and ready to hang. The wood panel is 1.5" deep so no need to frame.
