As much as my paintings are about the final image - they are just as much about the images along the way that become stepping stones for deeper understanding. Most of the time I don't now how long the journey will take or even how I hold onto so much trust when it comes to shifting my images again and again. My canvases offer multiple endings and at times I almost choose to cut the path short because I think that will be the safer option. However, when the desire for my images to keep moving and growing feel much bigger, I have to follow that inner voice - even when that means letting go. Sometimes this process causes me to say goodbye to images I wish I could retrieve, but I recognise the need for them to disappear and transform so that I can continue to create without resistance. Painting intuitively reminds me to practice that feeling of perseverance and faith of making it to the other side. It allows me to move through any losses or memories, any old beliefs or ideas that need  readjusting including any emotions that have stayed stuck...just so I can begin again.
