Nocturnal Reverie 3 is 51cm x 40.5cm,
acrylic on canvas

My practice is focused upon interpreting one art form into another, usually music, poetry, literature and live performance.

As I draw, paint or print, the image emerges as an apparently abstract combination of gestures, shapes and colours, yet each aspect holds meaning, derived from research combined with an articulation of my thoughts and feelings.

I lay down paint in layers, frequently pouring and dripping the paint onto the canvas to minimise the presence of brushstrokes. This permits me to convey meaning through an action and simultaneously allows the paint to mix and spread under its own volition.

Using multiple printmaking processes I can build up an image with layers of meaning and colour, whilst the techniques themselves can leave their signature marks.

I am influenced by the natural world, as shapes, images, colours and memories from walks and cycle rides permeate my work.

I hope you enjoy what you see, and share my joy of life,

Ruth
