A Love Letter To Everyday

Each week my studio practice changes, being a mother to a 3 year old and a 1 yr old, I have found in the last year and a half that i have been creating work that is deply personal to me, but not finding the space to share it. Sometimes months go by and my work has moved subject. In 2020, In lock down, pre kids I created paintings that I then shared each Saturday, at the same time, they were of my garden of small pieces from the week, moments captured.

There is something very intimate and authentic about this process which suits me, and now being at home with my just turned 1 year old babe, I find myself in my home studio looking out onto a different garden from lockdown but a familiarity of the richness of everyday, and also the restrictions `- 5 years later my restriction is time i can work, which i am deeply thankful for being able to be present to my young children, but also carve out time to create, which at the moment is in my little ones nap times and a few hours at the weekend. Creativity thrives with constraints, restrtictions, innvation appears.

All in all this is to say the below will be an ongoing project, where I share works from the studio on a Sunday, I can’t guarantee it is every Sunday, but I WILL BEsharing authentically and i hope this gives a real insight into the artist studio and creation.

The idea to start this again has been in my mind for about half a year - with the title - A love letter to everyday -

which in itself feels like an act of rebellion, to see joy and hope, even when you feel despair and the world feels scary. This also links back to my lock down series.

For this ongoing series there may be a range of works and studio pries
