Following on from glimpses of life, with this page and its contents I'm showing how, through a massive brain haemorrhage, I am still producing art works, even after my stroke. I'm relieved to say that it has not taken away my life completely. I have a lot of pain daily but it doesn't stop my detailed art works of many sizes to come to fruition. My love and determination to never stop my creativity. I love my time alone when doing my works and I have a partner now who helps me to be brave enough to go one step after another, gaining strength through years of pain and not giving up on living has been one of my main reasons. I'm now also a grandmother to 3 beautiful boys, who obviously I adore, so when life hits me hard I just push on through and start creating images and thoughts of a better life. The pieces of art that contain colour within them are representative of me feeling good on days and bad on days. so I'm really looking forward to producing more of my coping strategies throughout my time here to represent my struggle through my left sided stroke as I'm amazed and thankful for my ability to be. I believe getting better and better through my life with beauty now in the forefront, but like many other people we all have those dark moments and obviously my work is an acquired taste. I hope it brings some sort of satisfaction to the viewer and would love for feedback to become a positive way of maybe helping others.

If you would like prints of any of my work please contact me here.
