As a teen I surprised myself with drawings of some shells but didn’t consider myself as being very creative, and definitely not an artist. One day I had a big wall to fill in a house I was renting and wanted to merge a theme of colours in my lounge room. The rose that I drew looked great in pencil and for ages I was too afraid to apply paint. When I did attempt it I got so lost by the time I got to the middle that I just squiggled some lines to fill in the flower. Just as I was telling myself how it will just have to do, and that I wasn’t an artist, my partner walked past and remarked how real it looked. I stood back and realised it was better than I thought. Many people said it was good, that I should take lessons to develop my talent and to do more paintings, but I had a reason for that painting and, knowing that I’m a perfectionist I would probably want to “fix” it all the time. Well, I promised myself that I could no longer look at it critically and the next morning I woke up with a vision of my next painting (Mind explosion). The same with the one after that (Tree in the dust).
In the last six years I have learned how good life can be and that it is up to me to make it so. I get so much pleasure from supporting others to learn the same and to be all they can be. This may be through my paintings, my Life Coaching sessions, my screenplay (still in progress) or my workshops (still in progress – to be downloadable).
