| "Koi Pond Reflections" |
| “Koi Pond Esprit I, II & III” 11x14 mixed media on gallery wrapped canvas |
In the series, “Koi Pond Reflections”, I worked in mixed media – using a combination of acrylics,
medium and Indian inks. I have always been inspired by the contrasting beauty of koi ponds. I
love the way the fish dart and move to the surface, capturing a glint of light on their bodies and then
quickly re-submerging to the dark depths below. In these paintings, I have used an abstract
technique on the water and a more representational presentation of the koi to highlight this
contrast. The “reflections” part of my title refers to the play of light on the water as well as a
reflection back to my grandmother, my first painting instructor. She taught me the abstract
technique I used to create the water in this series. As I worked on these pieces, I recalled the
many times we spent working together in her studio. For the subject of the koi, I am also inspired
by Chinese brush paintings which treat them so simply, and yet with such graceful beauty.
