For me art is a therapy which enables me to visualise my feelings and interpret the world through my eyes

I have always created art in all its forms including writing and visual interpretations of my view of life and my experiences of it. As I have grown older so my experiences have broadened from being a single parent.. having many jobs .. coping with emotional difficulties and finally acceptance and contentment 

 

For me art is a therapy which enables me to visualise my feelings and interpret the world through my eyes. I also hope to inspire others to do the same and hope for an emotional response to my work. The physical act of creating is beneficial especially as subconsciously words and images are released very often without knowing where they come from. I love this organic way of working even when it fails the learning process is useful.


I find the whole process fascinating. I often start with a vague idea but it changes all the time as I draw / construct / or write. Seeing what emerges is very liberating and often not what I imagined it to be.
