Be inspired to commission this original artist to translate your personal effects into a" delicate object of desire".
I enjoy developing ideas, plus working collaborarively, hence I have been tentatively working with a Glass Artist on translating the Life Looms into glass arworks. Watch this space for developments!
The painting on display is a watercolur and mixed media painting from the Flower Rhythm Series.
Be truly inspired. Bring joy into your life by living every day with beautiful floral images.
The site is still being designed and edited.
Spend a mimute to be inspired and treat yourself and adorn your home . Prints that can be acqired to a size that suits you. So why not indulge and treat your self.
For a couple of years now I have wanted to express ideas through the oil paint medium. I have not painted continually with oils since I was at Secondary School. Until now, have not found it to be "right". The "right" time happened upon me by personal circumstances which affected me deeply. I was working through my experience privately. Now some time as passed I feel able to share the work with others. May they may resonnate with some people?
