I am creating portals, circular windows of opportunity for people as they awaken to remember who they truly are. I stitch jigsaw pieces of the world with parachute lines of safety as we drift together through turbulent clouds of uncertainty.
All in Artist Residencies
Creating Through Crisis
When we are advised to keep our distance, we need to know that human touch is possible, even if only virtually. Create though this crisis. Make a handprint to proclaim: I am here. Take a photograph of it to send to your family and friends. This is how you can connect with them, to show you care and are thinking of them. High 5 with a handprint.
Turn Stories into Art
Make art with repurposed materials. This art exhibition at the NGV Australia reinforces community values and shared methods of creating. It is a reminder that art can be made from anything and can be used to retell stories to keep them alive for a new generation .
Portable Art Studio
Some people say you need a lot of space to create in. That’s great if you have that. I have a lovely studio bench at home, but what I love the best is my portable studio. It’s my constant travel companion.
It's about changing the world
I believe that all change starts with one person. When we become happier within ourselves, more creative, more grateful for our lives, we are able to share this joy and happiness with others. So the ripples spread and we might touch one person, in turn they touch another and so change spreads, one person at a time.
2019 You were amazing
What an amazing transformation year. Travel, exhibitions, learning to trust in myself and take daring steps. These are the hallmarks of a year that has changed my life and given me a clear vision for 2020.
You don't know what you've got till it's gone
Do we need to put water and trees in an art gallery to appreciate them? Maybe we do so we can value our precious, fast disappearing resources and protect them.
Daring to be Courageous
Sometimes you have to dare to be courageous. That’s what happened this weekwhen I flew from Iceland to Zurich for a motivational business conference with my Icelandic coach, Sigrun who is on a mission to empower women to become business entrepreneurs.
Planting seeds, planting trees
What happens when a group of artists arrive in a small Icelandic town every month. New ideas, community projects and an influx of creative spirits converge to nourish and grow at NES, this remote artist residency in Skagastönd.
Legacies
What is it that we do in the world, by what deeds do we wish to be remembered.
