Strength and Turmoil

I was influenced by the inner strength my youngest son showed during a difficult few years in his teenage life. Amongst all the turmoil, darkness and chaos that surrounded his days there was always a quiet inner power that helped him stand strong.
Th e painting is of Yaquina Head Lighthouse, Oberon.

I started my journey in painting a few months after both my parents passed away in 2020.

Painting became a way for me to deal with grief and the solitude that was overwhelming me daily from their loss.
At first, I delved into the paints without any training and liberated myself through bright colours and random brush strokes,
but the solitude was still encompassing my days.

Once I left the comfort of my home and joined a local painting class, my experience with painting grew and I met and learned from
many talented people.

My paintings are influenced by Nature and the world around me with the hope that the final work brings life and joy to a room.
