February’s New Original Artwork
This year I am trying a new approach to my art practice. I’m making this change to help me navigate my chronic self doubt, and the juggle of being an artist/mother - to soothe the feeling that the amount I create is not enough.
So I’ve made the decision that each month I will steadily paint, in the studio time I have, no cramming, and pressure, just creating to my own pace. What ever I complete during the month will then be released during the first week of the following month.
Working this way means that my work can stay authentic, not forced, and I don’t start drowning myself in feelings of inadequency.
Just because I have a track record of feeling like I’m un worthy, does not mean I am, and feeling un worthy makes me feel un safe. So I’ve created a structure in which I feel supported, held and already feel I can grow as an artist within.
So I’m very pleased to introduce the 2 original artworks I created in January. One piece took me over four years to complete…

You Might Surprise Yourself
is a special piece.
Some paintings arrive as answers. Others arrive as invitations.
This work was the latter.
This piece emerged during January, a month that quietly asked a lot of me. In the studio, and in my life, old patterns began to surface - the familiar pull toward perfection, the belief that progress only comes through pressure, and the quiet fear that if I didn’t push harder, I might fall behind.
As both an artist and a mother, that narrative of lack can be persistent. Not enough time. Not enough energy. Not enough space to create without consequence.
This painting asked me to question all of that, and to project myself into abundance.

Maybe It’s All Coming Together
is a piece I worked on for over four years! She is very special to me, and walk me through a long healing journey.
When everything appears to be falling apart, something else may be gently assembling beneath the surface.
Maybe It’s All Coming Together holds space for trust - for the idea that clarity doesn’t always arrive loudly, and that meaning can take shape slowly, in its own time.
It is a reminder that what feels like unraveling may, in truth, be a deeper coming together.
