Well we can say that I've had a bit of a rough time lately. I am thinking about my precious time on Earth, and that life can end at any moment. When I die, the world will still be here, and I hope that my impression upon the lives of others will be valued as a positive influence. This is my only hope, that I can serve humanity, and all life on Earth, in whatever tiny way I can. I want to offer you something inspiring, something beautiful, something to enrich your life. My best ideas so far have been to paint you some pretty pictures and to make some videos that you might enjoy watching. This is my humble offering to you. I just want to be of some service to the world, even if it's just to find you a dress to wear to your Christmas party, at the clothes shop where I work. All my life I have been thinking "what will be left when I'm gone?" What can I leave behind that will be of any value to you? I could be dead tomorrow, and so could you! So let's ma...

Hello everybody I suppose I better start blogging again! I was blogging over at wordpress for a little while but I just couldn't get to grips with the format. I like that this blog is easily linked to my other accounts, it gets automatically shared with my twitter and facebook, so that makes life easier. So what is this blog all about?

I often share pictures and things on my facebook page, but my blog enables me to go into more detail and write several paragraphs, if you're interested in reading more about what I do. What is the purpose of my art? When I was a little kid, I wanted to become an artist so that I could communicate the lovely things in my imagination with the rest of the world. I wanted to bring the imaginary to life. This is why I do what I do, because I believe in the importance of imagination. What you have in your head is not insignificant. The thoughts and images that po...

August is the begining of the harvest season, a time to recognise the fruits of our efforts. We reach the high tide of the year, the hottest month, when the children are all home from school and a well earned rest is deserved. We have gone through powerful transformations. There may have been growing pains. There may have been challenges. Looking back over the past few years, I recognise a lot of struggle. This is a time to recognise how much we have accomplished.  There were a lot of difficult situations over the past few years. I made the big move out of my parents' house in 2008. I didn't realise how much this would challenge me. I was very anxious about "fitting in" and living up to others' expectations. In 2009 my brother had a serious accident. We were close to losing him completely. At the same time, my grandad's health took a turn for the worse and he passed away in hospital. Every April thereafter was difficult. In 2010 there was a holiday in Sweden t...
