thank goodness for the break. i’m returning to thinking about things i’ve not had space to consider and the first of these has been the about me on my website. i took the decision to have an about me section […]

a comfy place on the sofa avails thought and contemplation to recount recent days and specifically to reflect upon aspects of my own practice. last weekend i made my debut with the skin and bone trio in a local pub’s […]
sitting at our dining table i find myself staring out the window at a scene of slowly fading light with becoming brighter moon. what leaves are left on the trees wave at me like they are all vying for my […]

there’s a little over a week to get my australia symposium plan in the post. so what do i do – write – write lots, lots and lots. drink coffee make notes write. all the writing leaves me […]
after a weeks break at the end of august i’m slowly adjusting to september and beginning to get my head around what work load i need to manage. before i move onto melbourne i want to spend a little time […]
while i sat chatting friday i was asked “what do you do for yourself ?” i paused and struggled to find an answer. saturday afternoon after painting emulsion on two walls done after taking the dog out i sat on […]

The following blog consists of reflections and personal meditations on my recent trip to Berlin which was supported by a-n artist bursaries to attend the preview of the 10th Berlin Biennale.
i’d love to be able to capture my feeling and place it into the opening of this post because i’d love to share with a feeling of uplift, hope, optimism and all round head nodding pleasure. you might have read […]
i like getting to friday and taking some time to reflect back over my week. this one has been varied and i’m pleased to write today about a feeling of clearing i have. i feel i’ve cleared some troubling energy […]
