Art to captivate the soul

Have you ever found yourself totally complete in a fleeting moment? The sensation of being aware, curious and inspired all in a spontaneous realization- maybe it strikes from a walk in nature, or a perfect moment with loved ones, or discovering a work of art maybe? These moments have power. They fuel us to reflect on what is real. These experiences, without distraction or obligation, don’t ask for explanation but exist independently in ourselves with peace.

These moments are inspiring. They certify what is in our hearts and where value can lay. Perhaps giving energy to continue in times of stress, or motivation to evolve. This is where my creations begin as I believe art can captivate the soul. Art moves us. It triggers us to feel and opens our minds and hearts- if even for a moment. And it is precisely this which has kept me in the pursuit of creative discovery over the years.

Creating from a space of optimism is central to my process. I have learned the importance of living in these moments and to embrace them, as far too quickly they can be bombarded with distraction or responsibility. My paintings are my evidence. Evidence that I took advantage of an inspirational moment, and allowed the energy to flow unapologetically. Every colour and gesture tells a story. A story in my mind that I can reminisce about and get lost once again by gazing at its creation. This is the power of art, and to share these artworks is humbling; a gift to captivate your soul.
