Artwork Description

Again I began painting with a fixed idea and the brush did it’s own thing. Last night I watched a program on climate change regarding how many of the islands in the Torres Strait won’t exist in. 40 years, and that theme has influenced what was going to be a very different artwork. This barren scene was painted with urgency.

Note: this painting is ready to hang, but can be framed. The frame pictured is for display only.

Artist Bio

JL Mounfield 298 artworks | 45 Sold

I’ve painted since I was old enough to hold a brush.. Born with a significant visual impairment, I was encouraged to draw and paint in the hope it would aid visual development. I’m not sure it did much for my eyesight, but it certainly did plenty for my spirit

Art, for me, is all about communication. Everything I paint is communicating something , whether it be a simple emotion, or a more complex thought. My artistic style encompasses: abstract, expressionism, Impressionism and surrealism. If I were to categorise myself, I would say I’m an Outsider artist. Outsider art has been described as ‘any work of art produced by an untrained idiosyncratic artist who is typically unconnected to the conventional art world.’

In addition to painting I have a number of other creative outlets. I’m a trained florist and published children’s author. I crochet and design clothing, work with clay and make jewellery.
