My previous series Lush Restraint explored the idea of control and letting go.

Lush Release is play. Sweet release. Moving the paint and adding the layers quickly moving faster than my brain can think. This season I escaped through my work. I painted through my blurry and dark days. Finding freedom in my pigments and paints.

Lush Release no.5 is so etherial and dreamy. With washy fluid paints and splatters.

It leads the viewers eye from the bottom left past turbulent dark patches to light brights up and around the top of the canvas.

It speaks of other worlds and free flowing nature.
