Revisiting Monet’s Water Lilies at the Orangerie

Revisiting Monet’s Water Lilies at the Orangerie took me back to the first time I saw them at 16, when I was struck by his bold shift from Impressionism, his near-rebellion into abstraction. It felt like a powerful, final gift from a master, unconcerned with convention, offering his work purely as an experience for his nation.

Today, I find myself drawn in by a different quality - the meditative, emotional stillness that envelops you. Monet invites us to become part of his world, to float with the lily pads, to glimpse ourselves in the reflections. What did he want us to feel? Perhaps it’s that each time we view it, it’s an entirely new journey, depending on where we are in that moment.

Visited Monet’s home and garden in Giverny today

Visited Monet’s home and garden in Giverny today, and it was purely inspiring ! 🌸✨

The natural beauty here fills ones soul with awe —a true haven where the genius Claude Monet experimented with light and color, blending Japanese influence with a bohemian lifestyle. Feeling so grateful and fulfilled by this serene, artistic paradise. 🎨🌿

Today I enjoyed the true wonderment of visiting the Impressionists at the Musée d’Orsay. 🎨 Being surrounded by the collection of French masterpieces was beyond inspiring. Seeing the works of Monet, Manet, Degas, Sisley, Seurat, Cezanne, Renoir, Van Gogh (to name a few) up close reminded me of the power of color, light, and brushstrokes to tell a story. Truly a magical experience in the heart of Paris! ✨

I’m beyond excited to see my painting “Sunrise on Seven Mile” hung as part of the incredible Paris Art Week! ✨

Being just a few floors beneath the Mona Lisa feels out of this world, and it’s such a privilege to showcase my work at the same time as the extraordinary talents at Art Basel Paris. With the city alive with creativity and inspiration, this is a huge step in my journey as an artist. It’s unlikely to sell with this level of competition around, but that’s not why I’m here. Grateful for the chance to share my vision with the world!

Now this framed original artwork currently hung in the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands could soon be yours!

It goes up for auction at the Big Art Auction, with proceeds towards the National Gallery. Will sit comfortably in any coastal home - swipe to see it hung in a beach house.

BAA auction is on October 10th. All artwork for auction is on exhibition now and open to the public from September 9th.

“Sprats at Dusk”
40” x 40”
Acrylic, gold leaf, Caribbean Seawater on canvas.
Framed in grey oak floating frame.

Artist statement:

"Sprats at Dusk": This framed diptych, with two stretched canvas panels, captures the beauty of the Caribbean using acrylics in turquoise, blue, white sea foam, and gold leaf, enhanced with Caribbean sea water and sand from Seven Mile Beach. The piece portrays soothing seas and sprightly silvery fish, their movement illuminated by the fading light of dusk. The vivid colors and rich textures transport viewers to a tranquil, dreamlike shoreline in paradise.

Sharing some closeups of a new piece inspired by the sight I often see on beach walks in Cayman Kai: tiny silver sprats dart and jump during the ‘golden hour’ as dusk sets in.

Or maybe you have another room in mind? The painting takes on different qualities with each variation of background. I want to hear which one you prefer! 😀

When there is so much beauty around…. I just want to paint it! ✨
Here’s a new painting on the topic of sunrise, which I am lucky enough to see most mornings during my beach walks. Sometimes the colours of the sun on the sea are so special I want to share it with everyone.

Back home from my travels, and the return to islan

Back home from my travels, and the return to island life kicks off with a long beach walk listening to an inspiring podcast. We all believe in different paths for ourselves. Isn’t it a good feeling when you wake up to find yourself where you believe you’re meant to be, doing what you believe you’re meant to be doing? 😃
