Ondarte International Residency Exhibition July 23 2011

I've only been here at the Ondarte Artist Residency in Akumal on the Mayan Riviera of Mexico for 2 weeks and have already completed 3 paintings. Love it here and I'm looking forward to another month with a new group and more painting!
The residency is holding an open house for us on the 23rd of July and because we are the first group of artists, everyone is talking about the event and coming from far and wide! Thank you for the exposure Ondarte, and for the opportunity to be here! I know this place is destined to be one of the best as it is already world class in my book!
My latest work explores figures with the dualities of their ‘potential’ hidden psyches incorporated through the use of distorted reflections in water and through the use of shadows. I am interested in the idea of expressing an alter ego within a figurative representation, perhaps to reveal an underlying ‘darker’ side, or a hidden trait or association, or even a truer ‘self’.
