MALTHOUSE ART GALLERY
Interesting things are afoot with the Malt House Gallery Oswestry
Their soon to be new premises may have a new mural in the shape of an acre of my abstract forests
Due to the metallic nature of many of my paintings, to really appreciate them they have to be seen in the flesh... under a great spotlight... or on a wall with great natural light... and if the sun happens to be setting then the affect is gorgeous!

THE WORKING PROGRESS OF 'TRYP THROUGH THE FOREST'...
1 - The beginning, always the most difficult bit.It takes a few days to even get to this stage - sat down with the canvas knowing exactly where Im going to go with it and having the colours ready. These canvases are 7cm deep and 20cm width so I have to work on the sides too. I have never worked on a triptych painting with such a deep canvas before.
2 - finally! painting is underway, challenge begins
3 - blending the copper, deep red & red/brown, working on the sides too
1 2 3
4 - Mixing reds with 4 different browns, using heavy body acrylics to get a lovely texture
5 - Bottom half is done. Same colours as above but smooth instead of thick. This was a difficult task as the sides had to be blended the same as the front
6 - Few trees added. Placing them is difficult, I like a little perspective & symmetry whilst trying to also make them random! The big trees have to be put in quickly to cut through the top texture
4 5 6
7 - Trees refined more and more added
8 - Trees also added on the sides so as you walk past the painting it will feel very 3D, like you are moving through the forest
9 - Starting to add a gentle light coming from the right
7 8 9
10 - Little more light added onto middle canvas
11 - Adding the light from the sides and having match at the front too was difficult
12 - Making sure the light is gentle and fades out towards the left

ANGEL ORB
Orbs are a unique and unusual phenomena.
The first time one showed up on a photo I had taken
I noticed and welcomed it.
since then they have appeared on many more photos.
Many people have their own views
I like to think of them as angels

FALLEN FEATHERS
Feathers have a strong spiritual significance to me.
I believe many feathers which appear to have fallen lay just at the right place to be noticed.
A little nudge in the right direction
A little indication we are not alone
but....
ignore them
or dismiss them
and the bigger they will get

ULTRAVIOLET
For this painting I used the deepest darkest purple and blended it with an irridescent medium. It had an ultraviolet affect on the colour, especially where it pops out of the black, not to mention how luminescent it is in the right light

IMPOSITION
This painting is imposing hence the name. Imposition in the thesaurus means ...
Obligation
Responsibility
Compulsion
These words summed up completely how it is for me being an artist
I have a gift, a talent, an ability and it is my obligation to respond to this ability
I painted this one with an obsessive frenzy, I couldn't stop until I had finished. I worked quickly to acheive the
effect and my arm ached for days afterwards

UNIVERSAL WHEEL
"living in harmony within nature
within the compassion of every being
Interconnected and equal
evolving in our continuous circle of life"
Based on the Medicine Wheel - a sacred symbol to many civilizations and cultures representing the continuous circle of life. This symbol brings life lessons helping us to understand ourselves and each other better, bringing us together in a single consciousness. The silver web connecting all represents the invisible cords of energy which connect us all - our web of dreams are spun and everything is possible

BLUR
This painting represents many fish swimming as one; they are like a blur as the dart by. I find it beautiful how the light shines on their scales. They are all working hard to stay together when predators are looming around them.

LURE
Acrylic on canvas
Lure is a fish only found at great depths. This fish is amazing in that it has a luminous light on its head. This light attracts other underwater life….though when they get close to this fish they will see how they have been lured in….the mouth on this fish is as big as its body and its teeth are tremendously scary!

COLOUR OF NATURE
Acrylic on canvas
This painting was inspired by the sheer colour and energy in nature. The primary colours…red, blue, yellow and green represent the root, the spirit, the life and the heart respectively. Mauritius has influenced this painting with the Flamboyant tree on the right and my abstract trees on the left represent how nature offers its own life in order to be re-grown like autumn

ONE
"Switch on your light - so your shadows may not hide
Take hold of your fears - and let go of them
You have strength within to be fearless - let it filter out to others
Have faith - you can help things change
As we are all ONE"
This painting represents US and the world WE create. I believe there are two types of people in the world... those who are brave enough to 'do', and those that don't see the point in doing anything. This painting is for those like myself who volunteer their time, the ones who speak out on behalf of those who can't, the healers, teachers and lightworkers, those that see the bigger picture and help to heal conflict in the world regardless of what others are doing.
The black, red and green represent the conflict, hate, greed, jealousy and the other colours are beacons of light coming out, all colours of energy, levels of conciousness coming from our centre
"Unity beginning with Uniqueness"

SOUL LAND
Inspired by the Dagara peoples living in Burkina Faso came my painting Soul Land. For the Dagara group, their home land where they grew up is an important part of their culture; it is where their soul belongs hence the name ‘Soul Land’
After researching the Dagara wheel, their shamanic traditions and the relationship with their environment based on animism, I found some beautiful writings through which came Soul Land….
“Father of Bagre sends rain from the sky,
which falls and impregnates the mother of Bagre / Earth.
A tree is born and becomes the highway to Nangmens Residence,
In order for humans to reach Nangmens Residence they need the help of other creatures.
With the help of Badare / Spider they climb the tree to Nangmens house”
The blue spirals represent the rain from the sky falling and impregnating Mother Earth. You can see the lizards helping the water to feed the Earth.
The water weaves the web of Badare; the spider who can help humans to weave their own creativity and weave their own webs of fate.
They climb up to reach Nangmans residence using Badares ladder-like web by realising their own dreams and fulfilling their own potential.
Being fully in harmony with their environment and all its beings helps them to come back full circle again.
The middle of the painting, the swirling golden and bronze represents the earth as on the Dagara wheel. It represents ordinary reality of the everyday and non-ordinary reality used by shamans to see, to heal and to communicate between worlds

PROTECTION
This fish is one of the ugliest fish I had ever come across and had to paint it. It got me thinking that all the ugliness is all about survival . The fish itself could be warm natured and happy but we assume the worst due to its looks and its armoury.
As people we too can be ugly, we can put on a harsh persona and can lash out as a way of protecting ourselves from what we fear.

FINNED ONES
Acrylic on canvas also using airbrush techniques
This painting was from a dream or a vision I had. I was deep in the ocean; I was scared until light beings came to assure me that I was okay. The feeling of being free, being loved and being utterly safe was overwhelming. The colours were beautiful and iridescent. I believe there is God or Spirit in everything, in the stars there are the star people, in the sky there is the Grandfather, on earth there is Grandmother and in the ocean there are the finned ones

(Sold - Mauritius)
Acrylic and Mixed Media on canvas
This painting represents caves at the bottom of the ocean. You feel like you are hiding in a cave, looking out into the vast ocean, not knowing who is going to swim by. I enjoyed experimenting using beads and sand to build up texture. The colours represent the abundance of life surviving at such depths which is still a mystery to us humans
