Self portrait 'After The Fires' Claire Letitia Reynolds, Peregian Beach, 2019


"I make pictures as a way of navigating life. The colours, the lines, and the light intermingle, to form a single pattern different every time, no matter what. Just before I make a picture, I feel this strong energy force - it takes over. At this moment, I feel real. I feel honest... and I feel alive". CLR
