A R T I S T
​I SEEK TO CAPTURE THE SPIRIT OF NATURE, TO TELL THE STORY OF BEING ALIVE AND MY OWN JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE - THOSE THINGS I CAN NOT ALWAYS PUT INTO WORDS.
Picture
WHEN I LOOK INTO AN ANIMAL'S EYES, MY MASKS FALL AWAY    -   I AM LEFT WITH MYSELF
I SEEK TO EXPRESS THIS WITH MY ART... CREATING AN INVITATION TO FEEL, TO BE VULNERABLE, TO CONNECT
Picture
WATERCOLOUR AND ACRYLIC INKS ARE UNPREDICTABLE -
​I MUST BE IN MY ABSOLUTE CENTRE WHEN I PAINT.  
EACH BRUSHSTROKE IS A LEAP OF FAITH, AN EXPRESSION OF SELF BELIEF.

​I PAINT WITH A LIMITED PALETTE, SEEKING THE QUINTESSENCE, LEAVING SPACE FOR THE IMAGINATION
Picture
EACH OF MY PAINTINGS IS A SELF-PORTRAIT REALLY; A GLIMPSE OF EMOTION, PERSONAL REALISATION...
​A MOMENT OF STILLNESS IN COMMUNE WITH LIFE

I ALLOW MY PAINTS TO HAVE THEIR OWN VOICE.  IN THEIR FLOW AN ESSENCE IS REVEALED,
AS IS LIFE EXPRESSING ITSELF.

PROJECT UNLEASH ...
Months ago, before COVID turned our lives upside down, I was honoured to be a part of something incredibly special.
​
My challenge - to create a painting that captured and expressed the essence of a child living with disabilities for Variety, the children's charity. It was an incredible, heart melting, humbling experience. I got to meet a very precious girl, Madi, who lives with numerous disabilites and a big sense of slap-stick humour, an infectious giggle and a desire that the whole world hugs. Her parents are determined that she live as normal a life as possible. They are truly heroes. Variety helps them and others like them.

So many emotions thinking about Madi and her family as my paints swirled, tears, joy, gratitude for my own life, awe for courage and humour, late night after late night of painting, nerves. 
The challenge that I create something she would like and respond to, that would capture her spirit, her giggle and bring her and others like her joy. Only slightly nerve-wracking. And I only had a week (EEK!) It was raw, powerful and humbling.
​

A short video of the experience has been created by a very talented team, directed by Dean Friske and cast by Tina Schiano (such an incredible team and a most beautiful video - thank you guys!!!)

I feel blessed and honoured that with my art I am able to help and, hopefully, to make a difference...
