’Radio Wave Blooms’ is part of my ‘Bio Glow’ Series.

The ‘Bio Glow’ Series is an ensemble of original paintings that reference my ‘Aquatic’ series and my ‘Bokeh Light’ studies. This series explores the sublime beauty found in microscopic-worlds, energetic molecules, light, underwater seascapes (like coral spawning and ethereal microscopic creatures) but mostly alludes to the effervescence and glow contained within all life. And in this case, a true celebration of life.

This artwork was submitted and was awarded First Prize in this year’s ‘Biennale of Light’ 2026. It was created as a direct response to my son’s cancer diagnosis and radiation therapy treatment. This confronting time was somewhat comforted by the light of the healing radio-waves and the hope this gave. Painting during this time of darkness became a positive act of creation and defiance against cancer, it also provided much reprieve from grief.  

There is much here for your eyes to explore. The dramatic darks and subtle lights in this painting create an otherworldly feel. The background of the artwork has a soft focus, this together with the defined circular forms drifting daintily across the surface move the eye in and out of focus. The blurring effect I use creates an ethereal amorphous mysterious feel to the piece. 

The circles also relate to patterns made by light and nature. Beams of light and rain on surfaces like glass or a car windscreen. Or the photographic reading of light giving the ‘bokeh’ effect, a soft out-of-focus blur of luminosity. The reference to light is about creating a glow, an incandescence, a moment of illumination, something mysterious, magical and special amidst the dark, a glimmer of hope and the sparkle of all life. I wanted to create something universal, sublime and beautiful for our collective memories of life and nature to ponder.

But ultimately, what I enjoy most about my paintings is that they make people smile with a sense of wonderment and uplifting feelings.
