HAPPY CELLS PAINTINGS
The first Happy Cell painting arrived apparently “out of the blue” in May 2006.
Inner Worlds was Gill’s first “Happy Cells” painting, made in 2006
It’s title was clearly “My Happy Cells” and it took Gill completely by surprise. (It since changed it’s name to “Inner Worlds”) Until then almost every piece she had created was on a square format. All the embossed series’s; Seasons, the White series and the Chinese Elements series, 2000 (except Earth) are square or rectangular. However, Gill had been “visualising” healthy cells in her daily meditations since 1998, as part of her positive approach to her serious diagnosis in 1989.
Solar Cell
Other Happy Cells paintings followed, and at her solo show at St Georges Hospital London in Sept 2006 , a doctor pointed out aspects of cells that Gill didn’t consciously know she was painting
“That’s the mitochondria” he said “but I’ve never seen a gold one before!”
Mitochondria are the power centres of cells, and now feature prominently in all Gill’s cell paintings.
Blue Cells in Conversation I – The mitochondria “looks like a bread roll” a small child told Gill!!
Gill now consciously paints healthy cells in various colours and sizes. In April 2009 Gill exhibited her collection of large cell paintings in a solo show at Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospital London which was extremely well received.
The cell paintings above and other more recent artworks are all for sale from the Skylark Galleries website. All prices are negotiable, so contact Gill if interested.
