I haven’t spoken to you guys for a couple weeks now I’ve been busy exhibiting my wears in Ferrara Italy. I had a fabulous time at the Liberated Dreams exhibition with Paola Trevisan… and I won an award. The Lucrezia Borgia Prize. It was a sensational surprise and an honour to be recognized by my [...]

Last time I touched base with you I mentioned a magazine interview I had just finished, well it went to print full of misquotes, misunderstanding, important key detail words missing from conversations and generally wrong information from how I started, to my feelings on Qatar’s direction in modern art. Lots of photos though, so I [...]

At an interview the other day I was asked if there was a time in my career when I didn’t paint. That time for me was when my child was very young and he didn’t sleep for six to eight months, I couldn’t give you an exact time as my life was a walking, talking [...]

Once I started, the clarity of my memoires seemed to contain such complexities that trailed off onto other avenues of remembrance that I find myself having conversations with these thoughts and a quiet giggle at times. I’ve seen times when I didn’t [...]

Searching for peace has to be a personal journey and it must start with what I know for sure, it has to be my truth. To help find the answer I need to discover what would be my freedom and by questioning this I have to look at the layers of me. The times in [...]

The power of a deep breath help to keep you calm and give you fresh eyes to see clearly. Traditionally I paint works that play with your focus and now l’m working on a piece about focus…….easier said than done! The more I work on this piece the more I question what feels natural to [...]

While working on this painting I came to realize that Peace is actually a state of the mind as opposed to the “Why” of the heart like Love, Passion and your inner light. At this stage, this painting is not peaceful. In order to reach the final stage, it needed to pass through an almost [...]
