Nature and the practice of slow living are my two biggest sources of inspiration. Slow living encourages mindfulness and being present, while nature inspires calmness and connection to Earth. They help live in alignment with our values and priorities and cultivate a sense of harmony with our surroundings. These two concepts support and complement each other, leading to a greater sense of well-being and appreciation for the beauty of our world. I am mostly inspired by nature, slow living, different textures and emotions. I also enjoy the process to create art for different styles of interior, therefore I’m always in awe of how a painting can bring new life into a room or interior. Further, I find it fascinating how each person interprets a painting differently; for example, although the painter may have drawn inspiration from the sky, another person may interpret it as the sea. A picture can also be felt—is it depressing or uplifting? For me a ’a picture paints a thousand words’.
