'Abstract Conversations'
I am an abstract artist and I create paintings that are meant to leave room, if wanted, for very different and individual interpretations.
My method includes mixing chance and choice in an attempt to get unique and out of the ordinary outcomes and I use the special qualities of oil paint to help produce the complex surface detail that I require.
For this exhibition I have been inspired to paint the visual equivalent of conversations. I build up the layers and structures that represent the questions, descriptions, explanations, statements and all the elements of a conversation that lead on from one another. In the paintings featured here I have used particular colours and forms to express how I observe close members of my family, a young woman, a young man and a mature man, talking about themselves.

I really love the paintings Jill, I'd be more than happy to have any of those on my wall, (especially the top one!) They remind me of Monet.
