Painting and the Ocean are intrinsically linked for me. It is about freedom and achieving a flow state. Its a lasting sense of happiness and contentment. My favourite memory as a child was floating on my back in the ocean. My body weightless, the sound and feel of the waves and the sun on my face was my first experience of being in a flow state. I experience this every time I paint. Like the ocean, painting meditates me. The movement and flow of the paint creates a healing sense of place and calmness. This is reflected in my work and the feeling it creates for my collectors.
