Death to Comparison Limited Edition Print

Limited Edition Print

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.

Sold

SOLD

This is a part of my splatter paint series.

Painting these is pure joy: I literally throw paint on the canvas and then paint what the painting shows me.

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 is Life Series: Ease

Sold

SOLD through Hornsby Framing

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.

This features part of the beautiful magpie family that visits me almost daily. I sit and get work done and watch them. Magpies get such a bad wrap. They have the most beautiful song and are amazingly bonded families. It really is something special to watch.

Thursday’s

Sold

We share a car with my brother and sister in law, and each week my sister in law drops it off and we go for our walk. I love exercising alone, but I really love these Thursday mornings with my beautiful sister.

On the way we love a good chat, but I also continue to enjoy the beauty around me, from our neighbourhood poppies, to the spectacular bird life. For the last two weeks we have seen a flock of black cockatoos fly over us. It is a sight and a sound that literally stops us in our tracks. The elusive black cockatoos are such a spectacular sight. What a gift to have these walks.

There are bees and hidden amongst the flowers to find. I love creating paintings that have something hidden for those who are really interested in them.

This too Shall Pass

Sold

I have seen so much pain around me recently. The worst and most tragic aspects of life and it is hard to imagine a way through, at times, for those suffering. It reminds me of a kids book (We’re going on a bear hunt) that says, ” We can’t go over it, we can’t go under it, we must go through it.” 
Can we be the hug, the hope, the love, the light for those around us who are suffering. To offer the hidden hope that they cannot currently possess, to be with them in their tragedy, until they can once again stand? 
This painting is a response and a reminder that “this too shall pass”. That despite the burdens and pain that we and our friends may carry, that there is hope, in time, that the deepest of pain shall pass.
