‘Colour, with all its rich variation and emotional quality, is the essence of my meditative abstract painting. Luminous transparent oil colours in finely blended layers are applied with sensitivity while in a state of flow and timelessness.  Contrasts of darkness and light, brilliance and subtlety are used to reflect beauty, mystery, and the wonder of life.  Viewers are invited to pause in stillness, be immersed in the expanse of colour, and linger in free association and interpretation.’ - Anne Jackson
