5th - 30th April
Painting and Drawing allows the murky waters of my mind to achieve the capacity to be contemplative, access quietude, stillness and peace. A gentle turning towards the ever present moment, where I can celebrate the uplifting environment, the dignity and poise of humanity and draw on the intuitive through which I can recognise my true self as resilient, fervent and light-hearted. I love all forms of art and art history: a constant searching which informs my own work.
Any form of creativity expresses with jubilance a life which is difficult to speak of. With humility I endeavour to share an aspect of such sanguinity to my viewers. Communication and persuasion is an honour and privilege for which I am ever grateful.
"Every moment and every event of every person's life on earth plants something in each soul. For just as the wind carries thousands of winged seeds, so each present moment can spring up in the fertile soil of freedom, spontaneity and love" Thomas Merton
