Inspired by the bright life affirming sun and the fabolous yellow lichen that covers the rocks along the coast making them light up and shine as the sun itself. Spring is moving on fast feet over the land, visiting every nook and cranny leaving fresh colours as its footprints transforming the land and colouring it so beautifully and the best of all bringing it all back to life again. The rocky shores are becoming friendly places for new life to start and for curious children to play. Its a fabulous time of the year - all is fresh and new and yet forever old.

I base my artworks on memories of places that has a significant impact on my life and that vividly lingers with me. I am fascinated by the ancient soul of these old landscapes surrounding me and the sustainable life they contain when left alone. Here I feel the connection to my foremothers as we enjoy the same view and sincerely hope that future generations will get the same opportunity. I want to convey to the viewer my respect, wonder, love and joy for untouched nature through coloured dust on paper, and in this way remind us of our impermanence and that we are fortunate guests.
