About
Art is self-expression. It is about observing – visually and in the deep recesses of your mind. It is about a moment – captured and realised on canvas, in lyrical form, in music or in craft. It is about a fleeting moment, the impermanence of life and everything around us, from which we seek meaning. A cloud pushed forward by wind so that a new cloud can take its place. A wave crashing on the shore and hurrying back. A rain drop unable to hold onto a wayward rope as gravity pulls it to earth. A city changing, people arriving and leaving. A man buried as a new born lets out a cry of joy. Anger dissolving into acceptance, hatred into love into joy. Dawn, beating mid-day sun and the glorious colours of a receding day – all reflections of the temporary nature of life and all things that surrounds us. I am deeply inspired by the natural beauty of the world. How despite the many abuses by humans, it unveils its glorious colours day in day out.
