Artwork Description

Dryad is a tree nymph, or tree spirit, in Greek mythology. Dryads, like all nymphs, were supernaturally long-lived and tied to their homes, but some were a step beyond most nymphs. These were the hamadryads who were an integral part of their trees, such that if the tree died, the hamadryad associated with it died as well. For these reasons, dryads and the Greek gods punished any mortals who harmed trees without first propitiating the tree-nymphs.

Dryad is a multi layered resin and pigment fluid artwork, painted on 9mm MDF board, and ready to hang. The process of resin art begins with he mixing of two part Epoxy Resin, with artist quality pigment pastes added into the resin. Resin is then poured onto the substrate either in a random fashion, or in a pre-determined pattern. The results are not absolutely predictable, which is what makes it an exciting and spontaneous method of working. After years of producing very structured artwork, I have fallen in love with the freedom and spontaneity of working in this way. This work is multi layered with each layer of resin adding more colour and depth to the work. The beauty of resin is in its extraordinary vivid colours and fine detail obtained when colour pigments are added. The epoxy resin used is a hard, UV resistant, clear laminating resin. I am inspired by colour and texture.

Limited Edition Print of my original oil painting of beautiful Santorini.The vortex of time and the elements will ultimately render human constructs unrecognizable. In this painting, a mining crane has been distorted and dispersed beyond recognition.Follow up painting to Hell's Gate.   A decision has been made.   The crow and eye are witness to the result.   Hell's Gate represents the subconscious of a woman who has come to a crossroad in her life.   She has a decision to make - which direction is she going to take?   The gatekeeper, the crow and the eye are spectator to her dilemma. She is depicted without hair or facial characteristics to identify to the viewer that this is subconscious thought or a dream rather than the corporeal world.
