Finding a bridge into abstraction using negative space as a pictorial device inspired by ancient cave paintings. A combination of giving equal attention to both the positive and negative space led to these images.
Inside the Cave
What my collectors are saying..
"Michelle, your paintings make me seriously happy! and add a rich dimension to my life." SL London
"What I love about Fierce Transition is that it throbs with life, exploding with colour and form. After the shock of first seeing it, gradually it reveals more: more depth, more relationships, more colours. You feel the courage in the juxtaposition of tones and shades.
For me Fierce Transition is resonant of being at the edge of a tropical forest in all its exuberance, apparent chaos, and variety of living things.
Whenever I see [Fierce Transition] I feel more alive". William Eccles, London
