About The Artwork
'Pliancy' evokes the tranquil sway of summer grasses and seed heads in a late summer meadow, the teal background accentuated by halo-like highlights making it a warm and inviting painting perfectly suited for smaller spaces.. Pliancy- Bending readily; flexible; supple; adaptable: Easily influenced; yielding to others; compliant: The two meanings of ‘Pliancy’ got me thinking as I painted about how they have been present in life. It's easy to be a people pleaser, seeking love & reassurance by moulding around the expectations of others. Often compromising our own needs & desires to what we think someone wants us to be. The result can be unhealthy & abusive. So being pliantin that way is negative, destroying self worth & confidence. Conversations with many women it became clear that so many of us seem to do this. To put ourselves last & accept things we really shouldn’t . It can be learnt behaviour, reflecting trauma from childhood & attracting it in the present. But it is possible to gain strength & begin to see why being influenced by others is not good for us. The meaning of Pliancy can also be positive, Being flexible to create a life which works for us. Being able to adapt & bend to the winds of change is how to survive & flourish. The message to all women, is that we have one life, one opportunity to make the most of it & be fulfilled & happy. If we live in a prison of moulding ourselves to others that life becomes a trap. We should never put up with being manipulated, never accept any form of abuse. We need to know that what we want for ourselves & our wellbeing is key & not change to have someone else accept us. Patterns have to be broken if we & following generations of women are to live happy lives. Be you, be what you want to be. Walk forward in life empowered to do what is right for you. It’s not selfishness, it’s well-being, it’s grasping all that is good in life. Have courage, let other women support you & live a full life.

The power of Nature & taking time to observe its minute details & abundance has incredible effects on well-being. This is the primary inspiration for my work. Exploring the way our ancient genetic connection to the seasons, flora & colours in Nature influences how we feel is the foundation behind the big paintings of flowers, meadows & natural landscapes I create. I paint what I need, not what I feel. Whatever is happening in life, taking the time to observe Nature in quiet contemplation soothes my mind mind & eases my body. You will most often find me with a sketchbook or camera, wandering through gardens, sitting in wild meadows or with my head in a hedgerow, fascinated by those little things we usually walk past. The play of dappled light through meadow grasses, the glint of a dew drop on a petal, these things fill me with wonder & galvanise me to explore them on my canvas. These quiet moments translate into the big evocative paintings I create, which celebrate the simple wonder of the world around me. Somehow, immersing myself in the creative process results in answers to life's puzzles revealing themselves. I find myself relaxing, feeling joy & pain easing. I find it incredibly humbling that many of my collectors say that my work brings them the same sense of well-being. Each painting carries its own story, an opportunity to ponder & feel uplifted. The effect is so powerful that I literally get ill if I don't paint for any prolonged period of time. For me, the painting process is my consuming passion & I feel that my purpose in life is to share it.A few years ago I discovered that there is now scientific evidence that images of the natural world produce endorphins, serotonin & make you feel good. The term for this effect is 'Biophylia". Another deep motivation around my work is that bringing attention to these simple things may promote looking at things in a new way. Noticing, caring, nurturing & hopefully helping our wild world in its struggles. Whether it be to plant a tree, a small patch of meadow or simply to not pull out that brave Dandelion which has survived against all odds between the paving stones.
