On my search to do something inspiring on New Years Day, because I really wanted to start this year doing something inspiring, I stumbled across an exhibition at the Tate modern, which was closing on the 5th January (sorry to anyone reading this who wanted to experience it). It was an artist I hadn't experienced... Continue Reading →
TeamLabs – Tokyo
I recently took a trip of a lifetime. I can't explain how much I have wanted to go to Japan from a very early age, and finally I managed to get there. Needless to say I want to return immediately and the next trip is already in the planning. As you can imagine, I researched... Continue Reading →
Nighthawks – Edward Hopper
In the news recently I saw an article about a man who had paid £7500 for a dress for his wife. While extravagant, not totally extraordinary, until I ready the rest of the article. The dress wasn't a physical dress. It was a digital dress, which had been edited on to her so that she... Continue Reading →
A man seated reading at a table in a lofty room – Artist Unknown
Sometimes I see things and they just amaze me. This can be something really silly like perfect reflections in water, to something much more dramatic like great works of art (I know...shocking...who knew I was in to art!).

Other times it can come about from prominent people and the... Continue Reading →

Still feeling bamboozled by the last few weeks of not working, eating and drinking too much and spending maybe a little too much time with relatives you see infrequently. You now have to remember that you need to change the... Continue Reading →
Liquid Light 2 – Scott Naismith
Today I'm actually giving a painting and poetry pairing. Sometimes I am just struck with something and my brain goes off in to a world of its own, making bizarre connections. Naismith paints beautiful landscapes and seascapes which have their own transcendence, capturing the light across water and clouds to give a beautiful mysticism to... Continue Reading →
Expansion – Paige Bradley
We all feel confined at times, either from our own abilities, situations we are in, fear of the unknown, fear of the known...the list is endless. Society dictates that we should all fit into neat little boxes which attain neat little labels, for example, I am a white, 30 something, hetrosexual female, I am a... Continue Reading →
