I learn every day…well I practice better things I have learned over the years….
One of the main life lessons I learned is how to say ‘no’ and not feel guilty. Not just saying ‘no’ to random strangers but saying ‘no’ to friends and family.
I have learned to embrace my stubbornness in order to prioritise my own wellbeing. I will not displease myself in order to please someone else….I must have a vested interest in my decision.
I have learned to say ‘no’ in the nicest ways possible. ‘Oh that’s so sweet but no thanks’. ‘Enjoy it on my behalf’. ‘You go have fun. I’m good’.
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?

Boundaries are everything. I enjoyed this post about the “no” one. So many people seem to think no means “argue with me.”
