Well I’m off for my first exhibition in New York next week and to say I was nervous or my head was spinning would probably be an understatement. Best thing for me is to start work on a new piece that is complicated and time consuming. Introducing “Tangled threads”. This is a complicated maze of [...]

Looking back on the layers of my experiences has been interesting so far. 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 [...]

Firstly, the basis for it is a game of noughts and crosses that my husband played against me. We still don’t know who won. The other element that is continually surprising to [...]

This work had to be the “King of all Colour”, black. Maybe if I had never experienced love, white would seem like the natural choice. But I’m not that naive. Nothing comes close to the absoluteness of this colour – it’s the top of the chart. Black is the sexiest and the most confident of [...]

  Passion is the “Why” that truly understands you, the familiar friend that knows you the best. It likes to be creative, ask you questions and see how far it can push you. It’s also quite happy to allow you to drift in and out, tinker and daydream. Passion wants to spend time with you [...]

  Passion the most personal, dare I say the most selfish of “The Why”. We can be led by others but once we have truly discovered our passion it becomes a continuous, inconsistent pulse that will stir our emotions. Yes, there are discoveries along the way but once bitten it’s a no brainer. Passion is [...]
