Art As Therapy – P5 Turning Pain into Purpose
Let’s rewind to wear it all began. I was only 6 years old when my father died and I remember those early weeks quite distinctly. Dad had bowel cancer and from diagnosis to his passing was about 4 months. One day he got sick and the next day he was gone. Everyone bought me gifts. […]
Art as Therapy P2- Self-Exploration & Reflection
A creative life is an interesting and challenging one. My mind has so many fleeting ideas. It takes practice to catch the right one and transform it into physical form. Being creative has taught me that completing cycles carries over into life to help me finish things that I start. Not everything mind you, I […]
Re-Braving in 2023
“I am re-braving after a difficult stage that un-braved me.” – Jeff Brown. 2022 was indeed ‘The Tower’ for me. January 2022, things were starting to open up, people had already started planning for a mask free future, but my hesitation had all but turned me into a paranoid skeptic who saw how ugly and […]
The Darkest Hour Is Just Before The Dawn

The Space In Between
Being ‘in between’ is an odd feeling. Like those awkward years when you feel like an adult but you’re told to sit at the kids table. For a time you feel like you don’t fit anywhere, but you do know that you have outgrown a part of yourself and that it is time to move […]
Welcome to 2021
Welcome to 2021 I am fortunate enough to be entering my 50’s this year, and if life has taught me anything it is to expect the unexpected. When I look back I can only recall those defining moments which changed the course of my life. These are the ones burnt in my memory. All those […]

The Ever Evolving Artist
The Ever Evolving Artist I asked a musician friend of mine how does he feel when he is asked to keep going back and playing old songs? It was something that no one had asked him before. After a little thought his reply was that it was difficult. So how do you keep giving the […]
Welcome to 2020
Welcome to 2020! I only have a small mailing list. In fact I probably spend more time procrastinating about what I need to write in a newsletter that the amount of people that actually read it. I do not pretend to be someone I am not, nor do I spend time and money on advertising […]
