Artwork Description

In ever so gentle tones - yet with a brightness to uplift and transform any space.
Sometimes there seems to be so much doom and gloom in our world with animals endangered and climate change. This is my interpretation of us all being aware and doing our little something to help

Under the layers of paint lay hidden words in graphite - all those words you wish to hear in our changing world ‘beautiful, adored, gorgeous, kind’. For some it is saving the elephants and bears. And for others, it’s to fight for what is right in our world. And somehow when I was painting this work I felt all those things and those feelings seem to come out in the work itself.

Gorgeous pastels fill tiny spaces and take you into the depths of the landscape and there’s some sheet music which makes the work sing. Our world truly is a beautiful place
