I was brought up with colour, energy and food. In autumn, as children, under the guise of visiting our neighbour we would pop in next door knowing we’d always be offered Sharon fruit from the ever abundant tree – shades of deep orange, fleshy and juicy. In spring, streets are wildly ablaze with pink and white blossoms. In winter, clear moon-lit sky reflecting on the vibrant white snow, creates a cosy romantic atmosphere. In spring, we ate the first of fruits before they became ripe, green crunchy, velvety almonds - in winter we warmed our hands with freshly cooked deep red, juicy beetroot from the streetseller. In summer in the fruit orchard, while adults rested from the heat, we played and watched the shivering, shimmering sun rays in the transparent air. My paintings are all about colour, texture, and energy in motion - impressions of all things I see, hear and feel, from past, present and future.
And now as a practicing artist, I teach people what I have learnt through experimenting and being encouraged. That we are all innately creative. My work is to enable people discover their own unique way of creating, be it via painting, dancing, drawing or making a piece of art.
