Inspired from my time at an artist residency at Artspace Gîtes in the village of Fontaine-Daniel in Mayenne, France. I spent a week there but oh how I wish I’d stayed longer, such was the inspiration I gained from this beautiful village and the residency.

I was at a crossroads with my figurative painting and went to France seeking inspiration for a new body of work. I returned to Australia overflowing with ideas for a figurative series based on the interior of the Artspace Gîte (and the beautiful light which flowed into the space) and inspiration for a new series of landscapes based on scenery within and surrounding the village. Fontaine-Daniel has a luminous quality I’ve not seen before and a very special relationship with the trees which surround it.

This painting is the first created from photo shoots conducted within the village and reflects the dreamy light which greeted me every day.
