Birthday Celebrations - Blessings!
So, I am celebrating another birthday this year. I feel thankful to have made it through another year and have the opportunity to continue working on those ideas, goals, and dreams that I have within me. Time seems to be moving even faster as we age so we have to make the most of the time we have.
Sometimes you can get stuck in reflection, this time last year we were organizing my mother's funeral, which took place two days after my birthday, it still seems a bit unreal.
I spend more time reflecting and sharing creative thoughts in the Arts and Wellness Cafe. I would love you to join me. Take a look below.
Join me in the Arts and Wellness Cafe
I share some art reflections, and ways in which you can alter work for someone who just wants to do a bit of a project. This is the first of many Arts and Wellness Cafe - come and hang out for a while in the studio and play a while with your supplies. I would love to hear how you use creativity in your day to day work.

Art in Barbados, Experimenting with Art
APRIL 2022 issue of the BARBADOS VISUAL ARTS MAGAZINE
Free Online magazine
Every month Artist and Publisher Corrie Scott produces a online publication of all the art and creative events taking place in Barbados. It is packed with information about current Visual Art events happening around Barbados and by Barbadian artists further around the globe. It normally comes out on the 1st of the month.
I have always found it a valuable resource to have and keeps you abreast of what is going on in the island. Check it out HERE
Click on the link or the image to take you to the listings, so you can see all the amazing events that have been organized this month, with some of the events happening online.
Experimenting Styles
I have continued to experiment in the studio in my art journal with the Neurographic Art, allowing myself to continue to be inspired. Every image I create whether it is a portrait or an abstract scene, seems to call out for the essence of Neurographica. I am continuing to be guided to see how it impacts on my style or adds to the stories being told.
Foam Stamps Art
This week I also shared my painting for the week from the foam stamps that I had created last week, I love this stage of their development where, you can see the video of the page creation below.
If you would like to see the stamps daily you can check out my Instagram HERE
