Zen & Thoughts

"The mind is like water. When it's turbulent, it's difficult to see. When it's calm, everything becomes clear." 
Recently returned from exhibit at Art at The Mill in Co. Kilkenny where it garnered much interest and praise. 
This is Claires' largest abstract to date, here she uses a more subtle paired back palette than you might be used to seeing with her work. Although still using energetic marks and brushstrokes it has a more peaceful feel. The journey to up-scaling her abstracts has been a long one with her working on paper and small canvases for a year before feeling ready to tackle a larger format. 
Mixed media with inks, charcoal, acrylics and oils. Mixed media with inks, charcoal, acrylics and oils. The canvas
