Land/Sea/Cityscapes
We live in a beautiful world, with so much inspiration for art work! I am an avid sketcher and photographer; often taking photos from the passenger car window...I also love gardens; mostly to paint them as opposed to planting them... Sometimes I paint exactly what I see, at other times I mix it up a bit!
Below are a few of my interpretations of both places visited and expressively imagined .
Beyond my immediate environment, travelling (both in NZ and overseas) feeds my soul; giving me both 'space away from creating' and 'space to allow for new energy to come in' making way for new work keeping my spirit alive.
