about
The desire to create is always there.
The initial inspiration is simply to play around with colour and paint -Improvisations (music is a huge passion) in charcoal or pencil or paint or watercolour.
And the land feeds into that- the energy patterns of the land I'm living on - and emerges, depending on my focus and emotions at the time.
Sometimes the focus is the sea - homesickness has been a big theme the last few years. Sometimes it’s the tree - longing for health and community.
Sometimes it’s the influence of those incredible people who go about their work caring for the environment all over the world. The mostly unheard of and unsung ones.
Sometimes it’s the bird. Leaving.
But I think an overarching theme in my work - whether abstract or real - could be entitled 'A New Day'.
Each day we get to create something brand new in our lives. What a gift.
Joy and love of the earth and of creativity.
That’s my motto.
