Each new painting starts with just that inner compulsion to create. As I settle into my controlled style of painting , each piece evolves not from the head but from the heart.
This painting is the first of my “Sisters of Eve” paintings and came after a period, where each painting created, seemed to throw-up issues I needed to deal with within my own life. Because I work intuitively, it is not surprising that that these issues rise to the surface, presenting themselves within my work, what is surprising is that it has taken me many years to recognise this.
Before starting this piece, I asked for a painting which offered healing and a gentle calmness. A painting that was purely for the joy of creation and the celebration of life.
