I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music. 
Somerville has developed her painting by focusing on the aesthetic of colour.
For her, colour provides the expressive medium with which to probe and stimulate psychic and emotional values.
The path for Somerville is an ongoing journal of colour based upon the recurring seasons as a metaphor for death and rebirth.
The paintings vary in style by combining the constructs of abstraction and realism. Somerville fuses all of this with interplays of colour, lines of movement and surface textures to compose a visual event.
