Hope Springs

This painting took several months to complete, and during that time developed a strong sense of its own identity. Though, at times, it felt like a somewhat lengthy process to get to a place where the various elements of the painting came together to create a coherent whole, towards the end of that process I began to enjoy a real sense of peace and optimism while I was working on it. This informed the title, and I hope that some of that sense is shared by the viewer.

The painting is framed (wood, painted a dark grey). Let me know if you would like me to send you more information and/or photographs.

I have had this painting photographed by Peter Stone, and giclee prints are available to order. Please contact me for more information.

If you at all familiar with my work, you will know that I keep returning to the sphere as a focus and inspiration. When it came to naming this painting, I looked for synonyms for 'sphere' online, and one that came up was 'big blue marble'. I'm not entirely sure why this appeals to me so much, it just does does (when I thikn about it, perhaps because I used to absolutely love marbles of all colours as a child, feeling that each one somehow contained a little magic).

This belongs to the series of pictures inspired by the beauty and intricacy of Chinese scholar stones. This one evolved from the earlier paintings in that it is more organic, makes reference to being connected to something other than itself. the creation of this particular picture was interesting as it took a long time to reach a state that felt complete. I kept feeling compelled to go back into it, making very small adjustments each time, over many, many weeks, until it felt ready to let go.

Walking in Moonlight II

Acrylic painting on watercolour paper. This is the second of a pair (see 'Walking in Moonlight I') with the probably fairly ovious influences of Gustav Klimt and Paul Klee, but with the wonderful Hundertwasser in mind too.

Dark Star

Oil painting on linen.
Inspiration for this painting came from wanting to create a sense of gentle movement and balance. I used intense colours, painting in transparent layers and integrating the use of metallic paint in order to allow this picture to be experienced quite differently in different light settings. It is fascinating to see how it responds to the changing light throughout the day, and to electric light in the evenings.

This painting is framed (black wood). Please contact me for more info and/or photos

This painting began life as a very simple idea. As I worked on it, it became more and more complex and took longer and longer to complete. I became very fond of it the longer I worked on it and it has remained one of my favourite paintings.

This painting is inspired by two things: the wonderful form of the brittle starfish, and a new tube of paint called 'opera pink'. I rarely use colours straight out of the tube, but this was one occasion, over a series of rainy grey days, that really seemed to call for it.

I painted this at the same time as 'Field of Dreams'. For both pictures, I was inspired by how an egg is both very fragile and incredibly strong and by the beautiful simplicity of its shape. I also like how, looking at an egg, we cannot know what will emerge, and so it remains filled with endless potential. I reworked this picture some time after I first painted it because, even though it didn't feel quite right, it took me a while to feel ready to revisit it.

Silk Chiffon Scarf 'Blue Velvet'

I adapted the design for this scarf from one of my paintings, which has been digitally printed onto the fabric. Made in England with hand rolled hems. Please note that postage is included for the UK. Please contact me directly for overseas delivery.

digital print onto silk (chiffon)
180cm x 50cm

£75.00

This design originated from a painting which is one of a series I did during the evenings and into the night one cold winter. I listened to music extensively while I was painting, which influenced my work, and I retrospectively realised that Downton Abbey had been on TV. I am sure I was also inlfuenced by that, especially since I remember being (unusually) more struck by colours and textures of the women's costumes than the actual story at times! Each scarf comes folded into its own box with care instructions, and bears the label 'Ro Cordick' (the brand name for my fabric designs) on one side, '100% silk' and 'made in England on the other'.

One of a series of works initially inspired both by carved chinese ivory balls and by chinese Taihu stones (also known as scholar stones): limestone formations found by Lake Tai and favoured in Chinese gardens. They are both monumental and intricate, have the most incredible presence - and look nothing like my work; I hope rather to have captured some of their spirit.

This painting makes reference to an older drawing of mine that I have a soft spot for (Cocoon for Invisible Pupa) and which is available as a print. This piece is larger, the style is looser and this one delights in colour in contrast to the other one, but the repeated form is easily recognisable.

Phenomenon

Acrylic painting on canvas. Inspired in part by my love of the sphere as a shape in itself, in part by the wonderful use of gold and silver in the works of Gustav Klimt, and in part by the idea that paintings have multiple ways of being according to the lighting they have around them.

This turned out, rather unexpectedly, to be the hardest painting I've done. It's the first of this size, and has taken the longest. It's a prime example of a painting that I began based on a clear idea of what I wanted to do. There came the inevitable point when the painting began to have a life of it's own, and what it let me know about how it wanted to be didn't match my original idea much at all! I love the way this happens with any work, and how the process was particularly pronounced for this piece.

This image came into being through a renewed interest in watercolour.
