For a couple of months tragedy surrounded us, culminating with my Father in law being in ICU.

The depth and weight of all that was happening meant we had to, as a family, find a way through. We went to the beach, and on bush walks, we had dinner out, we found ways to find joy in the small things: I call them microjoys. To see flowers popping up in the garden, birds all around. Seeing beauty in small things, helped us to get through the hardest things.

This beautiful kookaburra was on one of our walks, and it just kindly sat and let me walk up close and take its photo. So thanks Mr Kookaburra for allowing me to preserve a micro joy.

Mixed media on canvas

This one is quite different for me, as I literally blobbed and squelched paint over the canvas, like a child. I still don’t quite know how I feel about it, but it allowed freedom and healing to come as I ripped and pasted fabric, drew squiggles and randomly applied paint.
