I Am The Sky cloudscapes

Originally inspired by the sudden death of my father. In the hospital I was at his bedside and he was heavily sedated, I looked out the window and watched the clouds morphing from light to dark, drifting across the sky. When I got the news: my father’s condition was terminal - my grief was so compelling, the sky began crying. Or so it seemed to me, as rain fell suddenly against the window. Only the sky was big enough to encompass everything I was feeling in that moment.

Since then the series has evolved into visual symbolic expressions of significant milestones of my personal life.

I want the viewer to feel the emotions that I was feeling when creating each of these paintings and to feel a meaningful connection that resonates with their own lives.

Into the Mystic seascapes

“As wave is driven by wave
And each, pursued, pursues the wave ahead,
So time flies on and follows, flies, and follows,
Always, for ever and new. What was before
Is left behind; what never was is now;
And every passing moment is renewed.”
- Ovid, Metamorphoses

Firenze series

Living in Florence, Italy over one summer had a profound effect on me. Inspired by the light, colours and reflection of the Florentine buildings on the Arno river, these paintings depict my deep connection to this beautiful city and country.
