I’m not sure what to write here…
I see such inspiration in everything around me especially the natural. I feel most at peace when I’m outside/at one with the environment /nature. Art can send me to a different place and time.
I’m obsessed with painting. I consider myself a beginner as I ’ve never had any lessons…….one day. Soo much to learn……..
I love the challenge of painting flowers and my love of abstracts and use of colour is growing. I love Celtic art and the historic, mystical and mathematical aspects to it. I have studied at length “The Book Of Kells” as this is where my ancestry lies. I am interested in how it was constructed eg how did Lapis Lazuli (only found in Afghanistan) find its way to Ireland/Scotland in the 8th/9th Century?

I’ve always loved photography and I want to learn more. My camera is an old one that takes real film :) and my computer is very basic. I would like to learn digital art, but I’m not a fan of over manipulating – especially colour. I admire the skill and patience in waiting for the right moment, especially the fleeting ones with children and animals and capturing the emotions around me.

I have ‘leanings’ towards textile art, paper cutting and so many other arty/crafty things (except knitting and crochet).

Redbubble is a great site/sight, very inspirational, so many talented people out there. I find if I’m feeling down or blocked looking at redbubble excites and inspires me.
I learn so much from the other members and appreciate the support and encouragement from people and groups. I also learn about the world from the many images and information from members from around the globe.
Thank you redbubble.
