My series ‘Coming up for Air’, marks the time between my former life and my current one as an artist. When I left my career, there was a long moment between deciding to, and leaving. It was glorious knowing a new world was coming but I was unsure of what that actually meant. I simply knew that it felt like I could finally breathe.

​

That sensation, the liminal space between letting go and moving forward, is always the moment in ‘Coming Up for Air’. I return to the idea over and over, painting moments of suspension and relief.

‘She Moves in Blue’ is the newest in the series. The surface light feels soft, highlighting that idea of being held in water. The blue-on-blue palette creates subtle movement, reminding me just because something seems still doesn’t mean the current isn’t moving.
