One Year of Our Lives

One year of our lives. It seems to go so fast, so I did some thinking about how I could visualise it in a clear and simple way. This is what I came up with.
The different colours represent the seasons and how the weather makes them overlap and infiltrate each other. One year is 1 full orbit around our sun and 365.25 rotations of our beautiful Earth. That's it, that is one year of our lives.
The painting is bright and would undoubtedly draw people's attention and perhaps encourage thought and discussion.
The artwork has been completed on a artist quality stretched canvas using all artist quality products.

I have always been creative, enjoying to draw since 3 years old. However, art wasn't a prominent part of my life until several challenging and tragic family events occurred. Then in 2010 I went to TAFE and completed certificates I, II, and IV in visual art and I haven't looked back since. I currently paint using oils and acrylic.

My favourite images always come from the natural world, usually during my walks. I will see a scene where the light brings a rare moment of beauty that I want to capture for myself to relive and others to enjoy also. I photograph the scene and use it as the basis of my work but then use my memory of the moment to complete the painting.

Realism is my preferred style. I enjoy other styles between projects for variety. Recently I have been trying to represent my ideas as information visualisation abstracts.

I am very concerned about climate change and the threat to our beautiful world. My paintings capture that beauty and hopefully inspires us all to take care of our home.
