Amethyst Cliffs

This vibrant alcohol ink painting on Yupo paper captures a dreamlike landscape in bold, saturated purples, violets, and lilacs, layered with soft greens and hints of pale sky tones. The central form resembles a sculpted cliff, rendered in velvety washes of ink that suggest both geological strata and the folds of fabric or skin. The effect is atmospheric and otherworldly — part topography, part emotion.
Below the hill, a pale, metallic terrain anchors the scene, etched with natural, almost fossil-like patterns. These suggest tidal flats, ancient seabeds, or even skeletal remains — a subtle nod to the Jurassic Coast’s fossil-rich shores. Linear marks and bleeding edges create a sense of time, erosion, and mystery, while the luminous palette elevates the landscape into something almost mythic.
This work feels both expansive and intimate — a place that holds memory in its layered forms.
