Soft verges are to be found lining busy A roads in England. On a recent road trip, a sign saying, 'Soft Verges' stood out in a significant way to the artist. It was an autumn day, clear and sunny and the verges even looked 'soft' and were backed by rolling hills and golden leaved-trees. This notion of having somewhere soft to pull over safely on a long trip resonated deeply with the artist. She was also considering her mind and memory in particular, encased in a skull, in a body, in a car, moving at speed. The juxtaposition to the soft verges seemed profoundly comforting. The pale greens and earth tones represent the soft verges, the kind lay-bys life sometimes provides in the midst of business and the trying to get somewhere. The diagonal streak across the painting represents memories being tenderised(it has been literally softened out).

About The Artwork

Soft verges are to be found lining busy A roads in England. On a recent road trip, a sign saying, 'Soft Verges' stood out in a significant way to the artist.

This notion of having somewhere soft to pull over safely on a long trip resonated deeply with the artist. She was also considering her mind and memory in particular, encased in a skull, in a body, in a car, moving at speed. The juxtaposition to the soft verges seemed profoundly comforting. The pale greens and earth tones represent the soft verges, the kind lay-bys life sometimes provides in the midst of business and the trying to get somewhere.

My art is primarily organic abstraction, often portraying surreal and softened landscapes. A dream or nebulous quality marks both transitions and compositions. This is derived from a mode of life, which is rooted in inner stillness. I live in South West France, surrounded by tranquil forests. That quietness of being is what I strive for in my studio. I paint without distraction, so that I can fully connect with what I am creating. The more I can remove myself from the process, the better the work. I only paint in oils as they give such wonderful luminosity and I prefer large scale pieces for freedom of mind.
