Small spaces

Life is about a whole lot of moments that become minutes, hours and days, We all need the space in our lives to find our path and see where all the details of our lives are leading,
This painting of a cute little whimsical owl is exploring the small details in her world while the flowers and butterflies surround her. It's moments like these when we realise how precious these spaces are in our busy worlds. The world will be waiting for you when you are ready to return.
She is here to inspire your world and remind you to notice the details that bring magic and beauty into your life. It may be a simple flower or kind act from a stranger that inspires your heart to open/ There are so many moments in our lives that pass us by but sometimes we pause that little bit longer and the world seems to come to life. Enjoy the moments that fill you up and inspire you to dream a little and believe in you. This art piece was inspired by a desire to seek joy in as many spaces as I can in my life and when I pay attention to the details of my world it seems so much richer and fills me with joy.
This is an unframed original mixed media painting of watercolour paper,

Cheryle Bannon – Melbourne Artist – I love to paint calm happy art as imagined impressionistic nature stories that bring a feeling of calm happy spaces for the heart and home. Art is meaning making as a path to understanding our world and finding our way back to harmony and balance.
Available for PAINTINGS, COMMISSIONS, PRINTS of selected artworks and whimsical mixed media sculptures.
I am a mixed media painter and sculptor and have always been involved in the creative arts. I taught art in secondary schools for 30 years alongside regular group shows. I have been a fulltime artist since 2018, exhibiting in both group and solo shows.
I have artworks in private collections both nationally and internationally. I have been an artist in residence working with disengaged youth and in a primary school cluster project.

My intuitive art process is inspired by the random beauty of nature, animal wisdom and birds as a guided process that is a way of making meaning in a world out of balance. I explore colour and light through natural images that inspire emotional connection to our stories through the natural world. Colourful mixed media images begin with symbols and words that build the feeling and energy of the evolving art story. Art as visual stories evoke a sense of peace and balance connecting us to our world. I view art as a meditative process that is mindful and healing. I paint in a variety of sizes using layers of colour, texture and form, using a variety of media such as acrylic paint or watercolour. Art is built through the layers, with a variety of mark-making, collage, inks, pastels, crayons, and resin. The layers create a depth that invites us into the story imagery that comes alive within the art. We enter these visual stories as a participant connecting to the energy and feeling of the piece.
My art is a way to pause and explore the layers of colour, emotion and story that are an, honouring of the Earth and her wisdom. through exploring the depth of our personal and global connected storied worlds. Art is an exploration of inner landscapes and outer worlds as a way to connect to those breathing spaces that remind us of balance and flow.
Every beautiful moment brings inspiration and opens us to connections to our own calm happy heart stories.
