CONCEPTUAL EXPLORATION

The Small Blue Dot presents a dynamic and visceral composition, where deep blacks and fractured streaks of colour create an almost cosmic sense of movement. Thick impasto textures and gestural brushwork bring an intense physicality to the piece, drawing the eye through its layered structure. Subtle hints of pinks, yellows, and greens emerge from the darkness, suggesting the fleeting presence of something fragile amidst a chaotic landscape.

My Time is a commission, reflecting the essence of a retreat to the Isle of Iona. The painting captures the island’s rugged beauty through expressive brushwork, rich textures, and a dynamic interplay of colour. Symbolic details are woven into the composition. Blues dominate the sky and water, while the sandy shoreline and rocky terrain add warmth and contrast. A lone figure, subtly integrated into the foreground, contemplates the vast landscape before her, reinforcing the theme of reflection and connection to nature.

Interwoven marks and connected forms speak to presence and absence, unity and space.

Sweeping, turbulent strokes evoke a sense of immersion—movement and depth echoing an emotional undercurrent.

Dualities of colour and form suggest layered meaning, inviting a second look beyond the surface.
