My love of art has been with me since I can remember. I have always been drawn to anything to do with painting. I was raised in country W.A. with what seemed to me endless time to explore, read and paint. The information flow was much more restricted in my early years and when in the 962 I first visited England and Europe I was able to visit the Galleries and see famous Original paintings which were awe inspiring. My love of nature has always been with me and being raised in a small country town I related to the Villages of England. I love watching colours as the seasons change; the rich golds, violets and rusts of Summer and the blue greens of winter. The textures found in the W.A. bush, of rocks, earth and sky. Living in Northam for many years, I explored the surrounding Countryside and was drawn to the rocks found in that area. The textures and colours found in them flowed into my paintings and drawings. The dryer inland climate contrasts now where I am living near water and in a much gentler climate. Many excursions to the Murchison and Pilbra regions influenced the colours I used. I have painted in most mediums and love them all, especially ink and watercolour and at present I am painting on silk, a truly wonderful fabric. As I paint the dyes on, it is like a large landscape painting. The vibrancy of the Dyes on silk is truly magical and each one is an adventure of colour, the way they flow and merge with a life of their own, creating new colours as they merge, painting a 3 metre length is like painting a huge landscape, never the same twice. It is all a wonderful journey of discovery which continues to fascinate me.
I was drawn to do a course called "Beyond the Ordinary" to help me
release my emotions, it was a course in "Rebirthing" which was the
catalyst for me. My thinking is along the lines of 'the more I can
clear myself the more I can help others'. I have since trained in Ki
Force (hands on healing), Emotional Release(Master Level), Massage,
(Swedish, Deep Tissue) and now channel this healing through my
creations in Silk and Wool. I practice Healing Chi Kung daily. The
greatest reward for me is to have feedback from someone who has
purchased silk from me of how they received healing and comfort from
it.
The colour is my healing and joy and if the works I create give this healing and joy to others, I am happy. The following quotation sums up my feelings beautifully. “The spectrum of the rainbow in painting and fabric design, has a quality of vibrancy and harmony. Wearing a simple garment that is brightly patterned of dyed is just like wearing a piece of the rainbow.” From Linda Jackson and The Art of Fashion See more at: http://www.healingcirclesilks.com.au
