In this recent series of 'wave paintings', Jaye is exploring the constantly shifting patterns of light and colour of the ocean. Focusing on the ephemeral quality and kinetic energy in that frozen moment when a wave is about to break. She finds it fascinating how many elements contribute to the architecture of an individual wave, the currents, off shore and on shore winds, swells and tides. "For me a wave is like a snowflake, each one beautifully unique". Jaye first approaches a painting as a small study, where she focuses on color and composition, this then may or may not lead to a larger painting. www.jaye.ca
