It is such a privilege to be surrounded by the bush and the birds. In the garden outside my art studio, there are some beautiful grevilleas. The lorikeets absolutely love them and are often our alarm clock in the morning. They don’t exactly have the nicest song, but I still love to hear them everyday.

This artwork is a response to the realisation of the damage that comparisons can cause in my life.
I am a unique person, created by God and I have something to offer the world that is unique to me, as do you, have something to offer, that is unique to you.
This painting was created by hearing all the voices and the negative thoughts of many friends, family and page followers. All of this heartbreak was written down, it was awful to hear and awful to see.
I turned it around and painted the back with pure expression.
I then tore it all up.
I long for us all to tear up the voices that hold us down, that keep us from being who we are created to be. Imagine a world where we were comfortable in our own skin. Where we valued ourselves and others uniqueness, where we judged less and loved more.
Sewing the pieces back together was the next step. Some were back to front, upside down, sideways, some thrown out. The rest was resown into a new creation, which, while carrying its past, no longer resembles it. The words no longer have meaning. You can not see the pain caused by these comments. We are now free like the galah who soars above the field of flowers.
Death to comparison
This is a part of my splatter paint series.
Painting these is pure joy: I literally throw pain on the canvas and then paint what the painting shows me.
Framed by me in a painted white Tassie oak floating frame.

30 years of battling for health
For 46 years, despite innumerable tests, a very large CDH (bochdalek hernia) was missed
30 years of dismissive doctors and a few unicorn doctors who helped along the way
30 years of flow on impact and autoimmune issues
6 months of knowing something more (than my usual) was wrong
2 months of worrying what it was
February a Professor discovers my birth defect
3 months of trying to understand what it means for me now
3 months of healing wounds that took 30 years to establish and learning to forgive
3 months of resenting, reliving, feeling bitter for words spoken to me about my “illness”
Months of doctors visits, searching for peace, investing in my family, cooking and making sour dough 
3 months of learning to hand it all to Him: to lean not on my own understanding but in all ways acknowledge Him and he will make my paths straight.
3 months of surrendering an unknown future to the only one who knows it
A few weeks of finding my way back into the light and back into my art
3 canvases to play with colours that bring me joy
Countless bible verses that keep me on the path of hope
Many flowers that make me happy, inspired by my wacky garden
3 Willy wag tails that greeted me while on a walk, when my mind and body were struggling

This painting subtly contains the bible passage: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

This painting subtly contains the bible passage: See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19.
My hope and prayer is that this year is a new and fresh start, with strength, peace and good health.

Sometimes the troubles of this life accumulate on me, overwhelming me and overcoming me and I want a break, I want it to stop, to ease up, for the burdens and the pains to be lifted. But do you know what…this is life. It is easy to look around and think that others have it easier than we do, and sometimes that is true, but sometimes it isn’t, the pains of this life are hidden so often by a facade, that make us believe that it should be easier than it is.
This painting has been about adapting, healing the past, looking toward hope, but seeing joy in the day to day, in the weeds that have abounded in the rain, in the rain itself, in the birds that wake me in the morning. When I stop and listen, moment by moment, I can keep putting one foot in front of another and enjoy the journey.

I have heard it said that being a parent, is having your heart living externally to your body.
I don’t know how to parent and I have made a lot of mistakes, but what I do know is that I love my kids more than seems possible.
My kids have their own struggles and it is so hard to know when to step in and step back.
This painting is about my experience as a Mum wanting desperately to fix it, to take the burdens from my kids, to make it better and then hearing a whisper deep in my soul, “some thing’s don’t need to be fixed”.
An ode to neurodivergence.
