Words and images dance together. Whether scribbling a thought or making a mark creativity is present.

Life moves on

Having spent time living in a caravan, scratching a living in elder-care and taking a trip around the world to take a walk across Spain, I have finally found a wee house and am in the process of settling down once more. Putting the past where it belongs, it is time to look to the future and find my way back to myself. Somehow with all the life events of the past five years I have lost my way on my path, allowing the upsets, grief and losses to push me around like a piece of driftwood flowing with the current of the river.

So this year, 2019, is the year I delve back into life, into creativity and into creating a way forward. Colour of Women 2019 is my focus for now, calling me to the canvas to grow through anything that holds me back and allow my artist self free reign. A big learning curve indeed.

My journey with the Magdalene

So then I decided to try a really big canvas. An online tutorial with Shiloh Sophia and the Magdalene led me into places of the heart, of the place of women in this world, of transition and a move to another life, living in a caravan…. and because I was moving to a caravan and could not yet bear to put her into storage, she now hangs above my sisters bed, and there is little likelihood she will leave there…
