Nothing But A Dream
This series: Nothing But A Dream was inspired by my desire to find inner stillness and solace in this capricious world we live in. When I paint these abstract works I am taken to a place of calm awareness. Additionally, a belief in another dimension to this life encompasses my artistic process as I am creating them. My previous work as an oncology nurse, and my own life experiences are constantly swirling around together as I work; along with the reflections on the water that I lose myself in while out for a paddle. These paintings are a way for me to glimpse into that place between worlds....the one which we think we know and the one we can only see clearly from a dream.
let's get away together you and I
we'll float along like clouds up in the sky
to places that are travelled by the few
who enjoy simple pleasures like we do
there isn't any fancy place to go
just glide along the creek's bank nice and slow
and see the sights that you can only see
by launching out with curiosity
for things that you can't see clear from the ground
things that can not speak or make a sound
from this view our world has another part
that you can only get to from the heart
