I am South Australian contemporary artist. I paint original works of art and love showing them to the public, including through online videos that show the making of my paintings and my creative painting process.
A lot of people ask how I create a painting- in essence they are asking, what is my creative process?
How I choose my colours?
Before I start painting, I have a colour in mind that has recently captured my attention and feelings. This is most likely to become my heroine colour, as in this painting ‘Red Rush’ where red is my heroine colour.
In my most recent series I have focused on bold colours for my abstract paintings and used intense saturated colours. Take a look at my recent paintings, to see.
What is the ‘back story’ behind my paintings?
The process of painting includes-playing with colours , marks and texture, trialling and experimenting. I always have a sense of how far I am into the painting and how far I have to go until it is complete.
Sometimes a painting comes quickly, sometimes slowly. Sometimes I rework a painting, until I’m satisfied- sometimes that doesn’t happen.
Videos and visuals tell the story better!
The creative process is hard to explain in words but much easier to show through visuals.
So in response to requests, I’ve created this YouTube video that takes viewers through my creative painting process in the creation of ‘Red Rush’. I hope you enjoy.
