About this event

Imaginary Pathways

“Our memories and daydreams take us down the garden path.. whispering ‘what if this’ and ‘if only that’.

Our imaginary pathways unfold over time, stretching and shrinking, appearing then fading, like ever changing ripples and undulating waves in a never-ending ocean.

The only constant is our connection to our inner self. The internal voice, our companion from when we begin to speak to when we draw our last breath. This voice is our own and stories we tell ourselves, our internal roadmaps, are the most powerful of all.

To be in touch with our inner compass, our intuition guiding us along the pathway home, is the quest. Making art takes me towards that.

What keeps my cork floating is letting go of everything that pulls me under. For me, to be out in nature’s beauty, especially by the coastal rocks at Gwithian and then to be in my studio playing with textures and paint… that’s what life’s about!

To unleash the creative spirit within and to let it be itself. It’s a journey in which I am the observer and the obsession, engaged and detached, the spark of an idea and the disciplined craftsman, sanding and polishing each piece of work.

Creating art is a balancing act and throwing out imaginary pathways like invisible ropes helps me find my middle path, where I can lean in and move forward.

I created these paintings for my love of nature’s textures, especially the coastal rocks, and to feel a deep connection to something within me where I feel alive and truly free.”
