Solo Exhibits – Earlier Works – Presence

I developed an organic series relating to the body in oil paint on transparent paper or vellum surfaces. I was rendering a swollen Lichee nut in various forms which for me alluded to the conditions of the human heart and the figure. The scale was important as they are seen as small moments of awareness. These seed-like figurative works lend to a range of sensibilities, as vitality, restfulness, renewal containment, vibrancy, ecstasy, and joy being present in life.
