"The main focus of my work has become storytelling...
honouring the lives + stories of women
through portraiture."

So, I've finally completed the two pieces I began in Samantha da Silva's FEARLESS painting class and though I took photos under several lighting conditions I just couldn't seem capture the nuance and depth I physically see in the work (thus the detail images). 

The beauty of EMERGING I+II is that even though each canvas began with absolutely different palettes, the layers that followed brought the pieces together.  I also love the fact that they stand alone as separate works, can be hung side-by-side or as they appear here, one over the other.

I don't publicly share my abstract work very often, and even though I have completed several abstract commissions throughout the years, it still feels so out of my element.  It sometimes feels a bit like sharing the deepest parts of myself.  But the process is delicious...just responding to personal thoughts & feelings, to the images & music to which I am exposed, to the media & tools available to me.  A wonderful way to work.

I know your abstract paintings are completely different from your style but there is something beautiful about these paintings, very calming yet intriguing. Loving the colours and texture. I think you need to share your abstract paintings more often.

Thank you so much Kirily...this work is certainly a pleasure to create. You have inspired me to continue delving deeper into it :)
