I am an Artist, not fully formed, constantly growing. I remain forever a work in progress with my imagination as my constant companion.

As a child, playing in my Mum’s Garden I discovered that Nature provided the backdrop, and stage for my creativity. I was a storyteller, happily existing in my own make-believe world. I was always ‘different’. I rarely fit into ‘the box’.

This Artwork celebrates how make-believe acts as a catalyst for creativity. This painting has no frame to exist without constraint, it has no boundaries - nothing to box it in. It’s an Artwork of free spirit, unencumbered. Without it’s frame the painting feels more tactile and approachable. The effect is intended to connect the viewer more intimately to the activity happening within the painting, to entice a closer look and to let the mind wander. To reopen the box and let imaginations run free….. to ‘let the Butterflies loose.’

My Artwork is intended as an expression of emotion; it’s a gift from me to you. I hope that my gift is received as a moment in time to sink into, and escape from reality into a world of whimsy.
