A new soft pastel work connecting movement with nature

 

I'm making pastel works to bring ease to others and myself.

 

I have broken my foot...Ouch!! It's not the first time, and whenever this happens I'm compelled to create art exploring interconnectedness between nature, movement and our feet.

 

I have become increasingly interested in the known and unknown interconnections between the body, movement and our earth beneath our toes. Everytime I have a break or a sprain, Mattisse's dancers and swimmers come to mind... Frida Kahlo's bedroom, and the paintings she made in her bed also invoked.

 

I am developing new works on these themes and will dedicate a new digital gallery called "Foot Gallery" on this website. Here you will see my previous and current work around feet and movement. I think this will prove to be fascinating portfolio of work. I'm excited to learn new things about healing, nature, the joy of movement and what I gain through my lack of movement. I'm convinced there is something positive in every situation. I hope you enjoy the journey with me too. 

 

This pastel painting is called "Vanishing Point" and is the first of my current work for the "Foot Gallery". 

 

Art helps us to see and feel the world differently, It brings beauty to our living and working spaces with every glance bringing continous pleasure. I believe that art has a restorative and healing impact. I make work to explore the world and my inner landscape
