I believe it is vitally important to take time to be creative. For me, it is how I allow my brain time to unravel the big issues I am facing and most importantly, it is how I de-stress and manage to quiet anxious thoughts and feelings. Drawing, painting and focusing on my creative life throughContinue reading “Developing an eye for values”

Complexity in my life
Last month, I found myself playing with a new Sharpie which I love love LOVE! Who would have thought that I could get so passionate about an ink pen? But there you have it. I love to draw and express whatever wants to emerge from inside me at the time. The above photo is aContinue reading “Complexity in my life”
A little trip down 2004 Visual Diary Memory Lane
Where to start? I was having a look through some of my recent and much older visual diaries tonight and felt inspired to share some of my works with you. A number of them are still works in progress and these are only progress shots. They are also an indication of the type of themesContinue reading “A little trip down 2004 Visual Diary Memory Lane”
Nurture
This is one of my favourite paintings. As I painted this piece, I found myself deeply contemplative of what it means to be a woman and the ability to create live within the body from a sacred act of connection between two people. This painting was very much an exploration of my connection to myContinue reading “Nurture”
Reflection
This oil painting was done in 2009. I had a bit of a love affair with this colour palette and there were a few indigo themed paintings coming out of my creativity during that time. In 2011, I donated this painting to the Heart Art Charity Auction where it was sold for over $200 toContinue reading “Reflection”
Today, I celebrate the female form through art
I felt inspired to share some of my artworks of the female figure with you. Some of them are modelled after my own somewhat curvy lines and others from life models. This above painting was created between 2005 and 2006 in acrylic paints. I had a fantastic time painting this piece and I called itContinue reading “Today, I celebrate the female form through art”
Eyes, Owls and Animal love
Artistically, I am incredibly inspired by nature, especially animals. They have so much to express and in a way when I draw or paint them I see myself reflected through them. Owls are a favourite bird for me. I have been fascinated by their stealth, wise eyes and the graceful beauty that they carry withContinue reading “Eyes, Owls and Animal love”
Divine Love
This oil painting took me years to paint. I have a deep love for Egyptian theology and the love story of Isis and Osiris. In 2008, this painting was originally inspired by a broken heart. I think I must be a big romantic! Anyway, I fell for a guy who was a very different faithContinue reading “Divine Love”
Surfer 2009
This painting brings back so many memories for me. I am not a surfer, although I gave it a go back in 2009. I couldn’t even sit on the board in the water without sliding down the end and into the gorgeous ocean! I was dating a guy who really loved the ocean and wasContinue reading “Surfer 2009”
Woman in Water 2012
It seems that 2012 held a theme for me in my art and creativity. Women and water were a huge feature of how I was expressing myself. This oil painting was sold to a dear friend of mine who loved it the moment she saw it. This image was inspired by a young lady leaningContinue reading “Woman in Water 2012”
