Light is very special and plays a big part in my inspiration,.
Take this photo of the blurred background.
Notice there are circles, this style is called Bokeh.
The lens blurs the image until the light forms these circles.
During Christmas this style of photography is used a lot and maybe it’s those feelings of joy, celebration and family that I associate with this style.
These circles of light are my main inspiration to why I paint circles.
Although this is in a represntational way, I prefer to paint more intuitively.

If you ever feel overwhelmed, look to the sky. It reminds us that we are very small. On a clear night, which we do not get many of them I love to glaze up at the stars. I'm amazed at the photographs that Nasa takes from space and the colours of our galaxy.  Images of space both fiction and non-fiction continue to inspire me and play a big part in my 2022 collection.

Some colours can come from photos I have taken around my garden. Notice how the leaves overlap and have slightly different tones to the layers underneath.
I notice, I naturally gravitates towards certain colours, particularly pinks, maroons and different shades of blues.
