Escape Painting

I have always been creative as a young child. I was drawn to sewing and drawing as a way of escaping into a world of imagination. Since then, art and creativity have been s source of personal healing. This way of practicing art has bled into my practice as a professional artist. Having studied and worked in fashion design, the work I have done over these years still influences me to this date in terms of lines. fluidity and movement. I have a desire to share these skills I have honed through teaching in art classes in charities focused on pensioners, and people with learning disabilities and those with less access to traditional education. I find the art of making healing as I get into a non-judgemental meditative state. I want the viewer to get a sense of healing when looking at the pieces I create. I make the work first for myself and have a desire to simply create. Sharing my love of art is a way of finding my voice.
