This year has been an exciting, transitional period for my art making with lots of new growth and exploration. I have spent most of this year in full experimentation mode which means I have lots of unseen abstract works that are hiding in my cupboard! The works featured here fall into the category of loose representation - towards abstraction. I am still painting 'things' – landscapes or still life set ups, but there is a new energy that has come about from all the 'secret' abstract painting that's been happening in the background.
