Windows
Acrylic on stretched canvas

With this piece i see the many shapes as windows of opportunity. Some stand out more than others, but do we see them all, or do we see only what society/parents/beliefs/programming show us predominantly? The ones in the forefront, the larger ones.
When I was a child I recall being asked “what do you want to be when you grow up”? I did not understand the options and potentials available to me at the time, nor did I understand the potential within me of being capable enough and able to achieve it! (It’s not to lay blame) I didn’t understand the opportunities or my capacity.

I also get thoughts of a computer game and the opportunities within it, laid out by the programmer. Only certain paths or actions are available as per the program. However what if the program can be changed? What if one realised that not only are they the player but also the programmer? Would one simply still follow the set out game play, still, not wanting to create waves ? Or, would they change it?
Game changers literally change the game. Game changers change programming .. There are game changers in life too. Some call them wild cards, some innovators. They change life as we live it.
It’s not the perfect analogy, and I’m not a gamer so my description may not be on par, but it’s what I got for now.

The piece I feel opens one up to questioning. Questioning windows, opportunities, and pathways.
One can ask what if, and stay in the past game play, which is totally ok and fine if that feels good and right, or one can ask, what now? What window do I choose now, knowing I am capable, knowing there are choices available, knowing that I am the programmer of my game life..

The piece has me question it’s windows as opportunities in life, and more importantly, my capacity to dive into those windows, to explore. ( even if I fail, which is not failure per se, just that the window wasn’t the right fit )

I am an intuitive artist living in Tasmania. My art journey began in 2014 after experiencing several losses in my life. Art became a form of therapy, a space of solace, as well as a source of enlightenment. Seeking answers through art became a daily practice. It became my way of communicating with the unseen. I express what I receive in colour, shapes & word dialogue.
Creating art has become my greatest joy and form of inspiration.

I create inspired by inner visions, feelings, and ideas. This process activates an inner knowing, a curiosity, which I access though colour play, patterns, designs and shapes. As the art progresses I explore and express what I feel onto the canvas. The art is birthed piece by piece, each step, each mark born & expressed in the moment. I see each piece as a gift. Once complete I sit with it, and read its interpretation through visuals & internal dialogue. This way of interpretation brings insight, & clarity. It completes the “jigsaw” of colour and shapes. It is an important step of my creative process. Ive found that many resonate to the interpretation as much as the art itself… sometimes more so…

My style is for the most part abstract, yet at times it falls into other categories. Some see paradoxes within my style. All is intermixed in a way that leaves one wondering, and I feel this is by design, though not on purpose or with intent.

My art is an internal exploration. Each piece is a journey in self discovery. It explores infinite possibilities and landscapes. The act of creating is a dance with the unconscious, weaving into the physical colour and shapes,. I love exploring this inner world through my imagination.

I have no formal art degree. I create from a child like perspective, within a space of endless possibilities. There are no rules to follow other than to paint or draw in the moment what I’m seeing or feeling intuitively.

The insights I receive while creating art may be a little esoteric. That is my practice and journey as an intuitive artist. I create pieces that inspire an internal curiosity. I enjoy being in a state of playful wonder.

My goal is to create art that uplifts, enlightens and inspires curiosity.
