I have a theme running throughout my work, Clouds, moons and sunsets, why do I paint these?
At first I didn’t know, because they are pretty, I would say. But now looking in to it further, in more depth I think it is something more spiritual. I think they symbolise healing and starting again.
From suffering with depression for so long and so severely I found myself in a rut and feeling low, but it turned around when I started painting. Soon I found repetition of imagery the Clouds, moons, sunsets often landscapes and seascapes.
I think I paint them because, the moon I find healing and I enjoy painting the different phases to show the cycles it is very therapeutic. The seascapes and sunsets remind me of home as I live by the sea, this relaxes me. The clouds because they are fluid and round which I find therapeutic to paint.
My painting is all about healing and recovery so this would make sense.
