‘Coastal Storm Spritz’ belongs to my 'Aquatic' Art Series. A reflective artwork that allows you to come in close to experience and enjoy this painting inspired by ocean storms, the sea, molecular and microscopic life. It is representative of my exploration into the microscopic minutiae of life with all its order & chaos and my love of water. In this piece I also delve into the beautiful parallels of art with science that I have connected with my love of floaty effervescent underwater life forms. All the stuff that is so very real but cannot be seen with our normal everyday eyesight. 

I love the stormy deluges above and below the surface by the coast. The tension in the air. The feeling that something new and big is on the way. Everything has this beautiful pause and glow. 

This artwork continues with my fascination in the sublime of micro-worlds, biology, all things water and sea-life. The circular organic motifs and the organic cluster patterns allude to cellular life forms, dainty aquatic-life and to the visceral otherworldliness of the building blocks of life like cells, amoeba and molecules. Sublime and beautiful yet also possessing a feelings of fragility and vulnerability. The fluid lines and paint drips reflect the enlivening and rejuvenating aspects rain.

The big. The tiny. The sea. The sea storms. The surf wash and foam. Falling rain. The molecules. These things I think about and look at when I create these paintings. They can be viewed as miniscule cell life just as easily as floating jelly-fish swarms or an incoming storm with all the tensions and fluidity of rain.

The surface has a lovely fluidity and  texture from the paint drips.

What I enjoy most about my paintings is they make people smile with a sense of wonderment and feelings of happiness as well as creating a talking point for years to come.
