I am an intuitive artist, who draws from my deeply seeded creativity, supported by those who have gone before in my matriarchal line.
Colour brings me energy, drawing inspiration from nature, its beauty and wisdom. Connection and love of family, grounds me in story and belonging. Observing creative work, creating alongside creatives, especially woman, fires the passion of creativity within.
I have explored many mediums to express my art, more recently with the use of acrylic and mixed media on canvas. The transition of working on canvas coincided with the arrival of grandchildren in 2020 so I chose to sign my work as 'nanmajoy'. Combining my grandmother name and middle name and celebrating the overwhelming effervescence of joy the grandchildren bring to my living.
