What do I actually paint? Abstract Art as tactile hope.

As we move toward the end of another year filled with change, challenge, and unexpected turns, I’ve been thinking deeply about what art can offer us — not just as decoration, but as something we live with. My work has always carried a quiet thread of hope, and this month I’ve leaned intentionally into that message.

In uncertain times, sometimes what we need most is a visual reminder that resilience is possible … that beauty can still emerge from the unknown … that even when we don’t yet see the path, we can choose to keep walking.

Each painting I create is an invitation — to pause, to breathe, and to reflect on the parts of ourselves that have survived, adapted, and kept rising. My florals, opals, and abstract works aren’t just colours and forms; they’re stories of courage. They’re designed to sit in your home like a companion through life’s shifting seasons, quietly reminding you of your own strength and the hope that lives beneath your everyday.

As the world continues to move fast and unpredictably, my December collection holds space for something softer, deeper, and steadier. I want my art to be the thing you look at in the morning that reminds you you’ve made it through every difficult day so far. The thing that helps you reconnect with possibility. The thing that encourages you to look forward — even when the future feels uncertain — and see not fear, but potential.

This month, as I open the studio, share new works, and step into another exhibition, my goal is simple: to offer you pieces that feel like a breath out. Pieces that carry resilience, hope, and courage in their very brushstrokes. Pieces that become anchors in your home and soft sparks of optimism in your everyday life.

Here’s to a December filled with reflection, renewal, and the gentle reminder that even in uncertain times, creativity can guide us forward.

 

Me in my happy place - lost in thought, surrounded by art.
