Dr Suzanne Moss
Painter & Maker of Contemplative Spaces
“I’ve just seen all the work online for your show (Vanessa Goes Home to Paint). It is FANTASTIC. What an achievement. Brava! The colours superb, just right, gloriously both delicate and bold, ‘there’ and ‘not there.’ Imaginative markings in the abstractions that play on individuality within the serene whole. Beautiful in more ways than one, all rare. The vases look great too, really great. Talk about perseverance! You are an inspiration to us all …’
DR MICKY ALLAN, December, 2024
Like NY Arts Writer Bob Nickas, I believe in abstract art as an antidote for our times, providing places to feel soothed and find calm ‘away from the daily flood of images.’
My geometric diagrams have long provided structures for conversations between colours and explore material nuances with the intention of ‘painting light, touching space’ – space for contemplation and time to rest from all the things.
