Neon Planet (2023), 120cm x 120cm acrylic on canvas, oil pastel, chalk. Tasmanian Oak Frame.

This painting tells the story of overcoming inertia. I’d been feeling flat, overrun by obligations that scatter and wear down my creative juices. Even though it had been a while since I’d made time to pick up my brush, I knew that as soon as I did, the light would shine through for me again. It’s like picking up again with an old friend after an absence and you don’t miss a beat.
