Welcome  

Season’s Greetings 😍

I like to mark the solstice, it feels important to remember the natural cycles, the pause, the shortest day, and the quiet returning - the bulbs in the garden are already peeking through and it won't be long before our first daffodils! I find real comfort in that rhythm.

Over the autumn I’ve kept my art practice going, exploring and experimenting. If you follow my blog, you’ll have seen my word of the week reflections. 

I’m also three months into my seven-month project, painting over the same painting once a month. By the end, only one physical painting will remain; the others will live on digitally, as layers beneath. Below is number three, 'Not All Black and White'. You can watch me paint this in videos over on Instagram or Facebook. 

I've hung it (sideways!) in the lounge for a few days before it gets painted over - I really love this one - it's getting harder to cover them each month!

December brought cataract surgery, which slowed me briefly, but also revealed how yellow my world had become without me knowing. Seeing clearly again has been exciting in unexpected ways.

I also attended a mindfulness retreat recently. Its impact has been subtle but deepening, a strengthening sense of being, of 'enoughness'. I’m curious to see how this quietly reshapes my work as winter unfolds.

Wishing you a peaceful winter solstice, and a creative new year.

Warmly,
 

PS Below are some collages of my work this year (mostly work in progress), I could never have guessed were it would go - I can't wait to see what happens in 2026!
