Additional Information

Inspired from my time at an artist residency at Artspace Gîtes in the village of Fontaine-Daniel in Mayenne, France. I spent a week there but oh how I wish I’d stayed longer, such was the inspiration I gained from this beautiful village and the residency.

I was at a crossroads with my figurative painting and went to France seeking inspiration for a new body of work. Not only did I return overflowing with ideas for a figurative series based on the interior of the Artspace Gîte (and the beautiful light which flowed into the space) but also for a new series of landscapes based on scenery within and surrounding the village. Fontaine-Daniel has a luminous quality I’ve not seen before and a very special relationship with the trees which surround it.

This painting is the first created from photo shoots conducted within the village and reflects the dreamy light which greeted me every day.

I returned in late 2019 and in 2020 the world changed and I found myself painting figurative works inspired by a photoshoot with my daughter in the harsh Australian sunlight. I hope to return to this fledgling series one day.
