Reflecting on this year…(although it has been ‘worldwide turbulent’) it has been a year of personal growth for me. I definitely came out of my shell this year…I stopped ‘the whole creativity in isolation’ gig I have had going on for so long. I opened my eyes to the world around me. I let my thoughts out! …and found my voice. I see myself as a sapling but with very sturdy roots…as a butterfly just emerging from its chrysalis. I don’t think twice about ‘what I want to say about myself’ …I can be disparaging about myself as well as praise myself to high heavens. I am fearless … (about my emotions)…and I only look to myself for valediction of my opinions. I have learnt to blow my trumpet of feelings loud and clear in order to stem the barrage of thoughts in my head. I have learnt to trust myself a little more …and to feed on the doubt that fuels frenzied creativity by pushing myself when I get cold feet. I have discovered a world of bloggers…I never knew existed…a community that I can tap into. So yeah…2016 has been turbulent…given me a good shake up. No more going with the flow… more like finding an outlet and gushing out…

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? View all posts by designwithflair
