To new beginnings!!!

 
Once you decide you are worthy and that you deserve a better life, there is no going back. When I was a teenager, I had a small easel to work with and would throw my feelings and observations onto that canvas – it was my safety net, my secret world where I could say what I feel.

Keep the inner child alive

Keep the inner child alive

I think it’s important to try and hold the idea of a child’s free soul close to you and never let it go. Children are so pure and free – they see beauty in the smallest of things, and they live fully in the moment; they are not concerned with how they are seen by others and this gives them great freedom.

Precious Moments

Precious Moments

The last day of 2018! The time between Christmas and New Year feels like it is in a stand still. A perfect time to reflect and slow down, at least for me. It is an ideal time to get back to painting and just be. To smell the paint, doodle and be free. An ideal time to create without thinking about the result.
