Artwork location: United Kingdom
A wonderfully vibrant deep blue, silver and gold abstract painting. Authentic, original acrylic painting that is ideal for a stylish modern interior. Can be hung vertical of horizontal. Deep edged canvas ready to hang. This painting has painted edges so it can be hung without a frame. Please note that the process used to create this artwork can be a little messy and the canvas has to be handled while the paint is still wet so the rear of the canvas may have paint on it. The process used to create this painting relies upon a variety of responses. From the fluidity of the paint and and how it moves and flows to the temperature in the studio and how rapidly the paint mix dries. The paintings are built up of many colours of paint mixed with medium each interacting in a slightly different way to another. The final outcome can never be totally controlled which means each piece is totally unique.

Presentation
Artist Statement:
I have been painting for over 30 years and I have worked in various styles.
Abstract through to still life, pop art and architecture, finally back to abstract.
My abstract works come from feelings, words, music.
A riot of colour or a subdued undertone of emotions.
Action painting of the New York school figures heavily in a lot of the works but in my own style without so much emphasis on the "action".
More a dynamic type of painting that involves the deliberate application of considered sweeping brushstrokes and the accidental effects that occur from the gradual build up of dripping and pouring paint onto the canvas.
These are my abstract imaginings.
Original art paying tribute to Jackson Pollock's action paintings with new materials. Paints and inks mixed with acrylic mediums and varnish, dripped and poured onto the canvas (or paper).
I didn't make it to art college until I was nearly 30 and able to support myself and the twins.
I had a wonderful time there but decided against going on to study Fine Art at University.
Instead I chose to travel with the girls to Cyprus and continue my artistic education by myself.
Returning to the UK in 2000 I have progressed with my artistic endeavors and have many happy collectors of my works around the world.
Education:
1994 - 1996 - Mansfield College of Art BTEC Advanced GNVQ Art and design passed with Distinction.
