My exhibition “Colour Notes from the Heart” opens on 21st January at The Main Gallery, 156 Halifax Street, Adelaide and runs until Saturday 12th February. Wednesday – Friday 12pm – 5pm, Saturdays 1pm-5pm.
This body of work started when Australia was burning and has been making its way through the upheaval and uncertainty of the pandemic.
It traces gratitude for regeneration, home, family and beauty.
Each work began with an iPad finger drawing or painting made from life. Many were made whilst hurtling along the highway in a car.
The iPad drawings are like taking notes and the finger marks embody the time spent immersed in that drawing, searching for colour or form.
Some images remain in their original state, others are re-explored as paintings.
