An interesting thing happens when we live life as an artist. We see things differently. It is as if we have new eyes, that see wonderful things everywhere.

I believe the essential aspect of Creative Practice is seeking out something that captivates you, making the learning process more enjoyable. Absorbing what you learn becomes easier to remember and apply in future projects, particularly if you dedicate time to practicing what you've studied.

I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to teach creativity through making art, and it is something I love to do. The balance of studio work and teaching workshops means I keep active, get time out of the studio, and have the pleasure of encouraging others to get creative and have time out from their hectic lives too.

I have always loved colour. I love how they interact with each other and how colour can create mood and atmosphere. Little did I know that learning how to achieve this for myself was going to be a very steep learning curve!
