ENTRY DESCRIPTION
My works represent painter-like images that are inspired by the fundamental elements -water, wind, earth, metal, flora and fauna.
They celebrate beauty, hidden in all the usual and sometimes unusual places. It is both a challenge and a source of excitement for her to choose to see with new eyes. It requires pausing and diving deep into a particular point in space and time. Focusing on form and contrast, to the exclusion of everything else.
The captured images are often entirely stripped of their context, their source at times a mystery and their appearance open to interpretation. What remains is elemental, sensual and unexpected, and offers the possibility that our experience of reality can be completely redefined
This particular image was inspired by ripples in the water, in the fountain just underneath the Olympic cauldron in Vancouver. The neighbouring buildings cast beautiful reflections, with curved lines, giving the image a feeling of rhythm and melody.
