Whispered, from the series Elements, represents air. One very important instigator in the creation of this painting was the loss of a close friend and the steps involved in having to come to terms with her passing. During this period, my attention was more acutely attuned, closer in touch with my own inner whispers, which often encouraged me to spend time in nature, where I felt the presence of my friend the strongest. This deeper connection with nature inspired the series, Elements, into existence.
