Process of creating Abstract painting
I also have a passion for abstract painting, a big change of feel to my recycled aluminium metal artworks but I feel this satisfies a more visceral raw energy in me that I love to express through putting brush to canvas.
My abstract paintings come from a place that isn’t fixed or stable. They’re shaped by movement, distortion and random yet guided movements. I’m interested in how it feels to experience the physicality of painting and making marks.
Living with a vestibular condition means my sense of space, motion, and focus is constantly challenged. That instability feeds directly into my work. Marks become gestures of control and release at the same time—layers build, collapse, and re-emerge. Between chaos and control, weight and lightness, clarity and confusion. Surfaces are pushed, scraped back, and rebuilt. Colour is used not just visually, but emotionally—sometimes clashing, sometimes muted.
