A little bit about me
I'm a Jersey channel islands based painter and poetry writer, I studied Art and photography and sociology at A level and went on to Arts university Bournemouth to do an Art foundation diploma. Beyond that my real qualifications are that I love creating and the wild land, the seas and curious expression, I have a keen interest in spiritual studies - Yoga, mediation. I love to surf and ride horses, animals have always been a huge part of my life, I'm also studying Ayurveda, and herbalism, and learning to live in harmony with nature. Art helps me in my own inner exploration into the mystery of life. What does it mean to live? In my painting work where I let my mind go, the work speaks of life's fluidity, unexpectedness, symbolism and vibrancy. In my written work I explore many different avenues, often the deeper mystery of life, planes of consciousness, and love in all its form. I'm open to new ways of creating, and connecting with others, good conversations and dancing, humour is a must for me. Whats life without some silliness and fun? I'm looking forward to future collaborations, exhibitions, and artist residencies. So please feel free to get in touch and speak to me about projects you are working on or commissions you have in mind.
What I offer
Paintings
Oil and acrylic based paintings that follow the fluidity of the moment. Without to much mental overload, they speak to the soul on a symbolic and a vibrant way. Asking the deeper questions and replying with forms beyond what we usually can see.
Poetry
I think words have so much power, and in that awe I write. Much of my work is celebrating the earth and humans in all there beauty and darkness, exploring consciousness and what it means to be apart of the great mystery of life. From the mundane to the sacred and everything in between.
Ayurveda & Herbalism
I'm a student of Ayurveda and nature. For me it's such a nourishing way to live that fully supports my creative process.
In the future I will be holding Workshops in these two areas, assisting others to experience the vibrant health these have two offer.
