Art inspired by road trips around Te Waipounamu (South Island, NZ).
Materials of low environmental cost like 2nd hand picture frames, left over fabric
and small amounts of artists’ quality acrylics added to colour or texture of fabric.
(And nowadays the road trips are electric.)
Please note that I’ve changed Bush Walks (seen below) back to the 4 separate (but 2 layered = more impression of depth) paintings they were and they are $100 each.

And also in the interests of low environmental cost, I sometimes cut up and reuse old paintings I don’t want anymore. In these cases, I’m not crazy about the composition I originally chose but I do like some of the colours, shapes and textures. For this work, I cut up a previous oil painting and added driftwood and left over fabric:

These suspended paintings use 2nd hand frames, bound with satin selvedge from Creative Junk, with cut up old oil paintings or leftover fabric painted with thinned acrylics.
