During the extraordinary times we have all faced in 2020, 2021 and beyond, I have been struggling like many others. There have been moments during that time when I have felt isolated and disconnected, especially from my family, lost the ability to engage with normal life, and felt so controlled in every direction that it has become unbearable for me, as it is for many others.
I escaped to my atelier and found myself developing my joy of capturing my surroundings, the landscape, natural life and wildlife.
I started to develop my creativity with my paintings in my atelier. Creating something slightly other worldly started to give me a lot of pleasure. It transported me, provided huge relief, escapism perhaps. It lifted my spirits.
Capturing nature, the sky, the clouds, the long horizon and birds soaring freely above me. Adapting these paintings to create something a little surreal gave me joy, relief and now my passion for my art continues.
I hope my paintings resonate with you and inspire you. And that you too experience the joy, relief and inspiration they give me.
My mission is to bring as much of my uplifting, happiness reflecting art to as many people in the world as possible, to bring that happiness into your lives too.
