This body of work for our joint exhibition was just a frenetic outpouring of joyous painting.

I was given the date and opportunity and the ideas flooded in, I was so enthused I was painting continuously for two months. I couldn't get my ideas down quick enough and sometimes had several canvases on the go.

The paintings are lyrical in the way the paint flows, the explosions of colour, and the movement and expression in the drawings of my animals which I bring to life by painting with my fingers and wiping the paint away to create fluttering wings.

Most of my paintings include hummingbirds, kingfishers, the bringers of good fortune, luck, and a sign of love. The jellyfish signify acceptance, the fish perseverance and courage, and the sea horse are considered a good luck charm, a knight in shining armour! I am lucky to be surrounded by nature and the ocean.

My paintings are unashamedly whimsical and dream like.
