From the Artist's Portfolio

As yet 'Untitled', 2002, Acrylic on canvas, 50" by 70"

"Part of a series of large scale semi-abstract paintings which explore the idea of energy moving within and projected around the body. This energy may manifest as balance/harmony within or the opposite, it may be projected into surroundings or effected by them. It may also draw, or grow in response to connections between people. The careful use of color within the paintings attempts to give this energy it's emotional character. The series is influenced strongly by an 8 month period spent in Asia, to particular events which transpired during that period and in response to ideas of spirituality and harmony within the body and with the environment which are present in the beliefs and practices there." - Yvonne Cullivan
