“Not often these busy days do I get the chance to get into a studio to create

My studio has a canvas shade under the coconut palms the PERFECT STUDIO for me!

Progress of my newest edition to Christopher Hogan’s Reef Series of paintings”

Diving out of Kihavah Huravalhi Island, Baa Atoll in the Maldives is a great inspiration my new work, having said that, just walking on the island’s beach and finding a magnificently textured and vibrate coloured Crown Jellyfish a few days ago, also helped me create this paintings.

Bold combinations of the unique features of Maori Wrasse or Napoleon Fish, as they are know here in the Maldives and the bumpy textures and brilliant purples of the Crown Jellyfish have come alive for me in this painting.
