Tombstones

It can be pretty easy to capitulate and allow oneself to get sidetracked ignoring…nah shelving one’s own deepseated interests…but not today. I had just about had it and decided to take a breather and do a couple of things that I have put off for so long. I visited Bunhill Fields, it’s been a gravesite for over a thousand years and used to be known as Bonehill. I sat and sketched tombstones…


Hubby always makes the sign of the cross when driving past graves as though to ward off evil and I find it hilarious…whaa? sign of the cross when going past bones? seriously?  Well, the Bunhill Fields was nice and calm…and I’m going to keep going back till I fill a sketchbook with tombstones!



The cemetery was founded circa 1660 as a burial ground for non conformists, dissenters and radicals.

Spontaneity is the watchword that informs my art practice. My artwork celebrates the energy of abstract expressionism. 'why not?' underlines my creative process. Forget the box! Its obsolete...it's all about whatever shape you want to throw on that dance floor! The process drives my practice!! For me, work well done is work I have thoroughly enjoyed making...work that has made me think, sweat, cry, scream and come back for more!!! Work that gets my back up; pushes me...gives me cause for doubt. Makes me push in order for 'why not?' to become possible. Boundaries? What boundaries?
