Learning to fly

In the wake of the MH370 disaster I was drawn to the notion of flying and what it means to actually fly. The central figure in this drawing is in a dream like state with visions of hot air balloons in the starry night sky. The moon is full and bright and the air is laden with mystery and calm, which is re assuring to the viewer.

This drawing is not to arouse sadness but to celebrate the beauty and wonder of what it means to fly…………freedom.

Art has always been a part of my life, from sketching in my text books to covering my school diaries in elaborate designs. I've always been perfecting my craft with hours of line work and shade and have always preferred to learn and understand life through pictures rather than words.​Exploring life and afar through my Art has enabled me to see beyond the "norm" and access a different knowledge that doesn't reside in the conscious mind. My works could be described as spiritual, although I tend to view them as "mindscapes". A journey into unknown realms that I link with real life concepts or life teachings.​Each work has a meaning or teaching that has differing symbols entwined in the image that is layered and read like a puzzle. I always strive to find balance in my work and give meaningful energy to the subjects I portray.  These extraordinarily fine detailed drawings start with an original “idea” and then my intuition guides me throughout the journey of the piece. Often taking months to complete, each meticulous drawing then reveals itself with numerous symbols uncovered within the drawing. My works invite the viewer to interpret each drawing as to what is relevant to their own memories and feelings. With no right or wrong interpretation, the viewer will ultimately uncover the deeper meanings through correlations with their own lives.
