MAGICAL CREATURES

I took my first clay sculpture course in 2016 with Naidee Changmoh. It was one of the most magical and satisfying things I have ever done. It was the perfect way to channel my inner imaginative realm into earthly form. I smile just writing about it. Unfortunately many of my more refined images were lost while transitioning files from one place to another. These ones, however, really capture the playfulness of the whole experience. I ended up with a Dionysian inspired tribe of magical beings. A maenad, a lynxit nymph, and two baby bears. They are currently resting happily in the lush beautiful gardens of my home in Bali.

BALI 2011-2016

My paintings are not arranged by timeline or series.  I paint what inspires or what needs to be expressed by me in the moment.  I feel that in allowing this spontaneity, greater themes or patterns reveal themselves in remarkable ways that reveal an unfolding that occurs not in linear time, but in spiral time — a revisitation of colours, forms and moods that expand and contract, zoom in and zoom out, shifting continually.  Like puzzle pieces, I can shift the order of the paintings to create juxtapositions and dialogues that awaken new insights and recognitions.  In this way, they are a moving mythology of my inner world.
