"Mermaids." Painting

Born from Italian / Maltese mother / Irish / English father.
My spirit is like the wind and oceans combined.
It is wild and free and without chains. My heart is soft and open to love with immense sensitivity and compassion and at times it is full of wild uncontrollable passion for things and people i believe in and love...
My character is extremely complex and it would take a lifetime to understand me. I am very strong willed, stubborn and determined.I am also very funny and imaginative and creative.

Art came into my life after an extremely tragic traumatic event happened in my life back in 2002. I did not find art , it found me. It saved my life without exaggeration. It helped me heal my broken heart ,

I had never picked up a brush in my life before this terrible nightmare unfolded but i had always had a creative soul within me that was waiting to be released.

I had an extraordinary childhood. Born in Scotland's wild mountains on the west coast.
Age two sailed on an ocean liner to western Australia where life was gold coast territory and remote Islands in in Indian ocean.

Living in the bush whilst my father worked down the gold mines was full of colors, wilderness and exotic wildlife..On the islands experiencing every beautiful sea-life imaginable.

Early teenage years took me back to Scotland and i desperatly wanted my old life back.
I became a lonely isolated child that withdrew from humans and found solitude in nature and animals and their unconditional love.

Teenage years were spent on my fathers huge forestry plantation and beautiful as it was i longed for escapism and freedom. My father was an evil tyrant that had every evil gene born into hes black heart and he made my life a tortured hell on earth.

At age twenty i boarded a bus and with five pounds in my pocket headed for London to escape my father believing the streets were paved with gold. Naive and innocent i was easy prey to every walking monster that crossed my path and found myself homeless and alone discovering the ugly side of London in all its depravity.

Returning to Scotland two years on i married and gave birth to a beautiful daughter who is my rock, best friend and the only person on planet earth that understands me or puts up with me. The marriage was a nightmare and divorce was inevitable eight years later.
Finally having enough of living in the cold and rain i moved to Spain in 1999.
