L’Apres-Midi d’un Fauve (detail from large painting)
Sometimes I feel like breaking all the rules
“L’apres-midi d’un Fauve”
2015, Oil on Canvas
*******
Inspired by a visit to Paris and the Jardins de Luxembourg, I was struck by the dappled patterns of light falling on the trees and the hidden sculptures of #zadkine sheltering between, among them my namesake #rebecca the #watercarrier which led me to the #museezadkine
I imagined the sculptures as #fauns come to life and dancing beneath the foliage
????????????????????????????????????????
And a little play on words, voilà! L’aprés-midi d’un Fauve” emerged! ?????????
What do you imagine on your walks..? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I trained as a fine artist, was always drawn to intense colour and light and my style evolved to a sort of mythological abstract expressionism, even Fauvism. I work in mainly oil paints but create in glass too and the colours of light through stained glass influence and radiate through my work as well as natural forms and flow. My style is my own, using nature and mythology as inspiration. Forms and motifs that appear in my work include spirit animals like panther, scorpion, butterfly, and often faces and human forms appear dancing in the patterns as well as planets, fish, mythological creatures. It’s fun to try and find them! I love colour and play with it until it reflects the mood of the environment I want to create. I can work with you to create beautiful art deco style panels for hotel lobbies or even a small door panel. I’m very friendly and easy to talk to so don’t be shy to reach out and discuss your idea, however big or small, and we can work together to your budget to make your dreams come true!
