I have found that colour is a profound means of expression – sometimes by deliberately using specific colour, but often just ‘seeing what happens’ with the colours at my fingertips. It becomes part of an artwork’s personality. Vibrant colours are intrinsic to my style, my unique voice. I speak, at least in part, through colour ..read more

I was walking through the mud. Balancing on the more solid strip between two large furrows of sloshiness. A man was walking his dog and had paused to look at the view. I gave him a socially-distanced smile, passed him and carried on walking. But I was aware he was still watching me - not ..read more

Breaking out of a pattern of thinking can require a lot of courage. Especially if it defines or guides your life. And it isn't always possible until you are ready. No one else can do it for you. No one else can make that heart-deep decision. You may need to work through a lot of ..read more
