There is so much to my painting world these days and the enormity of it feels impossible to break down into simple lines, however one must try for the benefit of a ‘website’. The truth is, it is enormous. Becoming a mother has been transformative beyond anything anyone tried to prepare me for, and anything I could myself of imagined. Studio time is precious beyond belief now, but not as precious as the family to which my husband and I now work everything towards and dig deeper for every day. Painting in the sober light of day feels like the job I’ve always known, but in those dreamworlds I take myself to in day and night alike, there are untold depths and infinite possibilities of creations that beg to be created. What not to do, is often the order of the day….x The vastness of imagination, and the now unfurling of children’s insights and inputs to an artists mind are both spell binding and also paralysing. The simple task : To commit everyday to painting and exploring the world, and have the faith and belief that over time, art will be made.

It is both my husband’s and I wish and intention to show the world that brought us together, to our children. Paint is the medium to which I can tell that story, and Photography is my husbands armoury. A commitment to an alternative upbringing in times when the world is racing head on into an AI set of circumstances feels, to us, like the best option available. While we appreciate the dynamics of everyone’s lives are complex and challenging in varying ways, we are deeply rooted in a belief that we must tread lightly on this earth, and show and tell the stories of the most vulnerable, voiceless and powerless beings to offer something in the exchange of knowledge and power in this life. Nature is the foundation of these teachings and clues to a liberated mind, soul and nervous system ..! I hope in time, for my paintings to reflect this journey, and after deep immersion into the motherhood realm, I finally feel a small slice is now offered up to the canvas and telling that story.

Whatever comes from now on, will be with consideration and love at the helm.
