LAY LOW SHADOW – artwork inspired by ALCOHOL INKS: I keep thinking that I’ve left it in the past, but in reality, it will always be close by. I don’t hear from it for a while, and then I notice it slowly creeping back in through my body. I need to acknowledge that feeling and learn to create a healthy dialogue with it that removes the element of fear. Anxiety, like alcohol ink art, is concentrated and intense. Colours marble and blend into each other. I picture that darkness and discomfort as a liquid seeping in and spreading across a surface.

HOPE LIVES – artwork inspired by FLOWER ARRANGING: Hope is a renewable resource. Flowers are living things, born of nature, grown in earth. They are universal symbols of beauty. Flowers are arranged and arrive on happy occasions, or when we need comfort or sympathy, or alongside words that ask for forgiveness. Hope circles back. It’s in every sunrise and every spring thaw.
