Well its been several weeks since my last post. No real reason for this, except that I just haven’t had that much to say. I guess I have approached the quiet stage of growth, which is a new sensation for me, as for those who know me personally, I am not what anyone would usuallyContinue reading “The Tree Climb”

I found myself at work the other day just generally grumpy with everything, which from one perspective could be seen as problematic as my role as receptionist is quite central to everyone’s initial experience for the day. In other words grumpy admin = shitty day for everyone else.  There was no real particular reason asContinue reading “The puzzle with out a lid”

As you know I like to walk, and each track I take varies with different types of fitness and enthusiasm levels. One of my favourite places to walk is an old decommissioned golf course.

I did this for 2 reasons, one, I wanted to go to the Dunedin School of Art andContinue reading “The Paintings (cont)”

Painting 2 “I Hate You” The next painting was created directly after the last one, and I mean exactly that. My brush was still wet from the graffiti as I turned around to hit the next canvas. I was still very upset, however after a couple of strokes I slowed down, stopped myself, and paused…………Continue reading “The Paintings (cont)”

N.B This post is the first of 3 where I will be talking/explain the origin of a series of works created at the beginning of the year. Panting 1 “The Authority of Relationships”  The start to 2022 was quite intense, during the early months of this year I created 3 works that spoke directly fromContinue reading “The Paintings”

So, if you know my instagram page you will understand that I love to do morning walks and record the sunrise. This walk has become a ritual for me, as I find this time alone very sacred and special. It is a time where I can relax, be with my thoughts, and have no oneContinue reading “You Are Safe”
