Art. Such a small but broad reaching word.
They say art is a journey and it really is. A beautiful, fulfilling, frustrating, time consuming, thought provoking journey of challenge, process and discovery.
I confess I am still at the start of my journey, even after 20 years of dabbling. A new medium or technique makes me feel giddy with anticipation and dread, often in equal measures. The excitement tends to set in with new mediums and dread with things I have little or no experience in or if I worry about time constraints (being a working mum, time can get precious and creating art often is at the bottom of my actual to do list).
I have tried lots of mediums over the last few years, acrylic, pastel, ink, watercolour, gouache, printing, pencil. I love them all for different reasons! I love gouache for its versatility, ink and wash for its lovely looseness, pencil for the detail. And that’s just 3!
Here are a few examples of my work in different mediums:
