  • Spirit of Creation

    It’s been a while since I last blogged, mainly as I’ve been putting a lot of work into my other creative love, working with wood. There’s something about a feeling of spirit, of connection, of a natural interaction when working with nature. This contrasts so sharply with my latest artwork.…

  • When Life gives you Lemons…Paint them!

    When Life gives you Lemons…(the title for my latest work) why not paint them!

    I learnt an important lesson today. I don’t know everything! Art like life is a learning process. Sometimes, but often not, everything comes together perfectly, just as hoped for. Most of the time it doesn’t. Exploring new freedoms, new expression, new flows can be frustrating and annoying. Sometimes they can…
