Painting through covid and health challenges I’ve felt re-connected to colour and the flow of Nature in a World that seems increasingly full of suffering and unnatural ways of being.
My inner landscape has grown fertile and while my outer landscape has shrunk, I am repeatedly pulled into the present and what lies all around; demanding my attention and a response from my heart.
Exploring balance - how to manage overwhelm and yet feel as much as I can as it flows past my attention. How to feel child-like joy in being deeply connected to life yet remain present to all the ways I can isolate and separate myself.
To breathe deeply, repeatedly, remembering there has always been destruction and creation.
To stay present as beginnings and endings, life and death unfold and remain heart-open in love and loving.
Worlds within, Worlds without
Hope you enjoy my latest paintings
With love and gratitude
