Have you ever noticed how babies and children are so connected to their bodies, how they love to explore their surroundings,how they play with whatever is at hand? It feels as if they are completely at one with themselves and with everything, connected in a way that we often lose sight of as adults.
"We Live in an ocean of energy" (Serge Benhayon, An Open Letter to Humanity, p512)
While out walking this morning along our country lane, I felt connected to the all, my body light and aware of the birds in the trees, the rain falling softly and then stopping, the sky patches of brilliant cerulean and grey clouds floating overhead. Observing my surroundings and feeling the space between the trees I had a sense of the limitless space beyond my field of vision. We are a part of the grand whole, a spark of light or energy in a particular place, suburb, town, which can be felt to be pockets of larger spheres called country or continent, which in turn make up the planet, which is part of the solar system, and it part of the universal spheres of our universe.
Wonderment
Wonderment is a lovely approach to hold as an artist. It allows us to appreciate whatever is in front of us and around us without judgement, it allows us to respond to our surroundings in a playful and joyful way, deepening our connection to ourselves, to nature, to the oneness of the all.

    FROM MY DESK

    Hello! I live on the Gold Coast, having moved here from the Northern Rivers in 2021.
    I have a wealth of experience as an artist, art educator and mentor, having worked at  secondary and tertiary levels, and at the NGV and RMIT, Melbourne. I have  supported  adults to prepare folios for tertiary entry, and conducted art workshops from my studio. I have led field trips to the outback, and more recently conducted a course for a national health and wellbeing program.
    Currently I am working with a number of clients individually, both in person and/or on-line.

    Painting and drawing were natural ways to express as a child. I loved playing with watercolours, coloured pencils and paint. Making art has been a constant practice in my life, and the best way I know to respond to the beauty of nature. I have enjoyed teaching art for many years, and I would love to share the joy and playfulness of your natural expression with you.
