About love and animals is the name I have chosen for this show.  The works explore the feeling of loving another, expressions of love for animals and nature. These works are offerings and studies of moments where people, places and animals coexist.

To awake into the day and feel inspired to go on with exploring.  A feeling that transforms ultimately becoming the inspiration to go into the studio and make art.  Animals form part of my daily routine.  

I love animals they are amazingly communicative, generous yet simple in their needs and unconditional in their love.  Cute and funny, always making for interesting experiences, therapeutic.

We are reminded to be present in this moment, to be grateful.  So in this show my intention is to honour the love and animals that are here all around us, remembering that we humans are animals too.

Love is pure.  Love gives us strength.  Love is a source of inspiration.  Love enhances what is best in us.  It is also fun and naughty this thing called love.  It reminds us to be here now in connection with the simple joys.  For me these sentiments vibrate and resonate, translate and unfold into colours, lines and fields on the canvas, the paper, the clay. 

“When animals express their feelings they pour out like water from a spout. Animals' emotions are raw, unfiltered, and uncontrolled. Their joy is the purest and most contagious of joys and their grief the deepest and most devastating. Their passions bring us to our knees in delight and sorrow.” *
